Are you at Lowlands festival this weekend? Be sure to join Robert Goedegebure, Rick Fransman and Carina Castagna (Urban Economics group) at Lowlands Science 🎉
🕺♻️At this year’s LowLands Festival, WUR will bring science to the stage with “Hooked on Plastics.” Researchers Robert Goedebure, Rick Fransman en Carina Castagna will be present at Lowlands Science Programme with a game on separating plastic waste. Researchers will engage the festival-goers in the urgent fight against plastic pollution by showcasing the latest insights into the plastic lifecycle. The game will work as follows: participants read various types of information on the different ways in which plastic can be recycled and the benefits thereof. Afterwards, they can fish for rubber duckies. Each ducky is linked to a plastic item. When a ducky is reeled in, the participant is given a piece of plastic and asked to recycle it correctly. The WUR team will not only raise awareness about the challenges plastics pose to our environment but also explore solutions for separating plastic waste. By reaching out to a broad audience in this creative setting, WUR is inspiring action and encouraging people to rethink their use of plastics. Want to know more about the game?
