✅ master the basics of zero waste
✅ find out how to influence your friends and family to go plastic-free and
✅ start making changes in the world around you

FAQ

How do I complete the series?
There are 9 modules that you do in order.
Each has its own intro video and activities, with some stuff to watch, read and think about. There’s no timeframe and no one is grading your efforts! (Though if you want to share what you’re doing, please contact us or DM / tag @trashheroworld on Insta or TikTok). The important thing is you feel confident to move on to the next one.

What if I want to be graded or receive a certificate?
We can arrange that. Send us an email or DM once you’ve finished all 9 parts and we’ll send you a short questionnaire and ask for some examples of things you’ve done during the course. If you can complete it, we can give you an e-certificate.

Is there any cost or do I need anything to start?
The series is totally free, and you don’t need any special equipment, just your phone or computer. If you have any questions about any of the content, you can contact us.
