Zero Plastic Hackathon

Montréal edition

Let's build a future without plastic!

Piles of plastic waste on beaches, dead animals with stomachs full of plastic or tangled up in human induced trash. Plastic pollution is a serious problem harming our environment and living creatures. All of us have to act to finally set an end to the destruction of our planet.
 
Greenpeace believes in a plastic-free future and is calling YOU to help building it. Develop innovative ideas that tackle the issues of our fast-paced, wasteful society, the abundance of plastic packaging and the throwaway mentality!
 
Let's shape a better future together, a future with zero plastic!

Politics

How can political institutions be included in our fight against plastic? What projects would our governments be interested in and how to we get them on board?
