Precious Plastic Salento: towards sustainable communities
Mobius Circle APS

Lecce, Italija
Opis
Mobius Circle is a volunteering organization based in Apulia, a region in south of Italy, committed to raise climate change awarness within our communities and promote a plasticfree and zerowaste lifestyle. We believe that local small scale economies are the future way for a sustainable living and production. We focus on the plastic pollution crisis by running a social recycling workspace based on the "Precious Plastic" open source technology. We build machines able to recycle plastic waste and create durable and usefull objects that can be sold or donated. Volunteers will be involved in the plastic recycling process: collecting the plastic waste donated by the community (also riding a cargo bike!) or through group clean-ups, operating the machines to create something new, help to keep the workspace efficient. Volunteers may contribute with own ideas and improvements. You will also help in organizing and holding workshops, learning activities with children, and other events.
