Today I decided to challenge myself and spend a day without using plastic. It was a bigger challenge than I had imagined.
As the day progressed, I noticed how difficult it is to avoid plastic. Even shopping, almost all products were packaged in this material. It made me think about how plastic is omnipresent in our lives. During lunch, I found a lunch box with a forgotten bag in front of the Poliprint. I felt disappointed by my friend who left her there.

This experience made me feel both frustrated and motivated. I decided to start looking for sustainable options in my daily life and to raise awareness about the importance of reducing the use of plastic.

Today was a lesson. I realized that even small actions, such as avoiding plastic for a day, can open our eyes to our dependence on this material. I hope that this personal experience can inspire wider changes and improve the lives of everyone at the Poli and outside.
