What if a pen could grow into a plant instead of becoming waste? 🌱♻️
Last month, we tested a simple circular-economy idea: seed pens (paper pens that can be planted after use).
This wasn’t just a “craft activity” — it was a behaviour-design experiment: Can climate action become simple enough to fit into everyday life?
In 18 days: ✅ 20 teenagers learned the process and produced seed pens
✅ 120+ seed pens were made by youth
✅ 200+ households joined conversations on plastic waste and climate-friendly habits
✅ The pilot even created a small income pathway through green products
Why this matters (globally):
Plastic waste is not a country problem — it’s a systems problem.
And sometimes solutions don’t start with big policy.
Sometimes they start with small objects people use every day.
If anyone here is working on climate education, circular economy, youth engagement, or plastic reduction, I’d love to connect and exchange ideas.
If you'd like the step-by-step process / materials list, send me a message on LinkedIn — I’ll happily share it. 😊
