The University of the South Pacific, through its Pacific Ocean Litter Youth Project, partnered with the Pacific Conference of Churches to create a nativity scene using plastic waste washed up on our shores.
POLYP co-founder Suzanne Turaganiwai and her team used bottle caps, other plastic waste, and reusable props to remind Fijians of the amount of plastic that will be used this festive season.
Turaganiwai says the team wants people to be aware of what’s in their environment, including what’s washed up on the beaches and what’s in the sea.
