From Plastic Waste to a Climate Message
The primary school pupils of Our Happy Future Club have transformed discarded yoghurt pots, plastic bottles and other plastic waste into a special work of art. Their sculpture, “Domino”, draws attention to the impact of plastic waste on our environment and shows how closely pollution, damaged ecosystems and climate change are interconnected.
The name “Domino” represents a chain reaction: plastic that enters the environment can break down into microplastics and nanoplastics, harm animals and plants, and damage natural habitats. Through their sculpture, the pupils aim to make these connections visible and encourage people to reflect on how they can use resources more responsibly.
The project combines environmental education, creative expression and international collaboration. Our partner schools in Tenerife and Oulu, Finland, have also created sculptures on the subject of plastic waste. Their works are part of the competition entry, too.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved
A project like this can only succeed through teamwork. We would like to express our sincere thanks to the members of our Makerspace team for their hands-on support and to our caretaker for transporting the sculpture safely. We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Silke Schaper and Heiko Mattschull for guiding and supporting our pupils, as well as to everyone else whose dedication helped make this project possible.
