Turning Waste into Wonder:
SCRIPT
Introduction scene
Osaze:
“When we looked around our environment, one thing was very clear.”
“Plastic waste was everywhere — on the ground, in bins, and around us.”
“We realised this was a serious problem that could not be ignored.”
(Camera shows plastic waste on the table and quick environment shots)
Tamilore:
“Most of this plastic is used only once and then thrown away.”
“Yet plastic is strong, flexible, and lasts for a very long time.”
“That made us question why something so useful becomes waste.”
(Tamilore picks up and bends a plastic bottle)
Favour:
“So we started asking ourselves important questions.”
“Can plastic be reused instead of being discarded?”
“Can waste be transformed into something useful and creative?”
(Favour sketches ideas on paper)
TJ:
“That discussion changed the way we saw plastic waste.”
“We realised plastic does not have to be useless.”
“It can be transformed into something valuable.”

“At first, we didn’t know the best way to collect it.”
(Camera shows small amount of plastic on a table)
Tj:
“We knew we couldn’t do it alone.”
“So we thought about involving the entire school.”
“That’s when we came up with the idea of a No-Waste Week.”
(Camera shows team planning and writing ‘No-Waste Week’)
Tamilore:
“We placed plastic bags in every classroom.”
“We explained to students how to separate and drop plastic bottles.”
“Everyone was encouraged to participate.”

“Each of us was assigned to a different class.”
“Our goal was to teach students how to turn bottles into useful items.”
(Osaze guiding students making bangles)
Favour:
“We showed students how plastic bottles could become bangles and lamps.”
“These designs represent fashion and creativity.”
“They prove that recycled materials can still be beautiful and not useless.”
‘’ We were slowly empowering students by doing this’’

“We also created bottle trash cans from plastic.”
“These represent longevity and long-term use.”
“They show that waste can serve a purpose for a long time, and not be considered
useless”

Daniella:
“This phase was not just about making products.”
