Within the huge oceans in the world, plastic parts in the water hardly carry any weight.

In our society we do a lot to avoid plastic waste.

I am actively engaged against marine pollution by plastic, for example in an association or through

donation

I know how plastic waste gets disposed of in my country.

I buy only unpackaged fruit and vegetables.

In our country, plastic can easily be recycled.

I have already talked to friends or acquaintances about plastic waste in the oceans.

I take care not to use plastic in everyday life, if possible.

I know what microplastics are.

There are enough alternatives to plastic for product packaging for product manufacturers.

I think that plastic packaging should be banned as a matter of principle.

I am well informed about the effects of plastic pollution in the worlds oceans.

I conscientiously separate plastic rubbish from the rest of the rubbish.

I am generally prepared to do without disposable plastic if there is an attractive alternative.

I bring my own bags or containers when I go shopping.

I am generally

prepared to do

without

disposable

plastic if there is

an attractive

alternative.

I conscientiously

separate plastic

rubbish from the

rest of the

rubbish.

I bring my own

bags or

containers when

I go shopping.

I know what

microplastics

are.

I am well

informed about

the effects of

plastic pollution

in the worlds

oceans.

I take care not to

use plastic in

everyday life, if

possible.

There are

enough

alternatives to

plastic for

product

packaging for

product

manufacturers.

I think that

plastic packaging

should be

banned as a

matter of

principle.

I have already

talked to friends

or acquaintances

about plastic

waste in the

oceans.

In our country,

plastic can easily

be recycled.

I buy only

unpackaged fruit

and vegetables.

I know how

plastic waste

gets disposed of

in my country.

In our society we

do a lot to avoid

plastic waste.

I am actively

engaged against

marine pollution

by plastic, for

through

donation

Within the huge

oceans in the

world, plastic

parts in the
