Introduction: I have been requested to write a short guideline for sharing Google Maps and LocalGuidesCleanTheWorld actions for students from 13 to 19. There is a lot more to write, so please consider this as an open space, where to share your Suggestions too
Teenage is one of the most exciting part of the life. Technology have no secrets for them, they use a smartphone much better than many of us, they use Social Media Channels in a natural way.
That’s why, talking about Clean the World in a school is so exciting: we can show them some of the tool that they can use for recording and documenting the Clean the World experience.
Clean the World can be a challenge, for achieving great results.
Tools:
Google offer to us for free a wide range of tools, that we can use for planning and documenting our Clean the World activities:
Actions:
With this set of tool in our hand, we can plan a lot of different activities, in classroom and outdoor (on field)
In classroom:
Because we are Local, So we know the territory, working Globally, exchanging experience and supporting each other. We created a logo to have a single and clear identity, a flag made by Local Guides for Local Guides. You can download the logo here
On Field:
Of course, this is only a short guideline
Add your experience, or your ideas, in replying to this post
Note: Thank you to @manulele81 (for making that beautiful t-shirt)
[EDIT: I am adding an interesting and helpfull video about the life of a plastic bottle]

Wonderful introduction @ErmesT for HEF School Pakistan and yes a short guideline and Let us continue with this to help with the Data collection and spreadsheet information entry...
"How to -Local Guides Clean the World - Education for teenagers Data Spread Sheet"
Planning
What can be made of recycled plastic?
Suggestions:
When plastic bottles are recycled they can be made into lots of things: t-shirts, sweaters, fleece jackets, insulation for jackets and sleeping bags, carpeting and more bottles. It takes about 10 bottles to make enough plastic fiber to make a cool new t-shirt. It takes 63 bottles to make a sweater.

Good work dear @ErmesT ! Given then that they are children (and still understand much better than the adults! ) I would also focus on how many years it takes for the planet earth to absorb in a natural way a simple plastic cap or a cigarette butt! An astronomical number of years .... this should perhaps help us all to understand the damage we are doing!
Bye,
Davide

@DavidTito simply fantastic David. Thanks for share that useful post.
Because now I can make print outs from your post to collect the data, and when I will be on the field, I mean for LGCTW campaign on any of Karachi 's beach, these printouts will be useful for me and also other useful things which you shared in that post.

Hi @ErmesT,
And thanks for the mention @DavidTito. 🙂
Really like the approach you're suggesting, @ErmesT. Honestly, I think that participants of all ages will find it engaging, not just teenagers!
Wonderful how-to article overall, I feel that even I, with my teeny-tiny organisational and teaching experience, can deliver a pretty decent lecture if I follow your tips.
Good luck to all Local Guides involved in the CleanTheWorld campaign, and especially to those, preparing to launch this initiative in Karachi and Islamabad!

Fantastic work @ErmesT ad @DavidTito you are really doing something that could change the world in a large scale!

Agree with you @davidhyno
about the time that the planet will need to absorb the pollution.
Spread the message, and give an example, can help to educate the new generation. The damage already done is not reversible, but we need to stop, and to keep in mind that we are not damaging the planet, we are simply erasing the human being from the planet.
It doesn't make a big difference for the planet, but it will make a big difference for the possible future generations

Thank you for sharing the spreadsheet you used in your last "Clean The World" meet-up, @DavidTito
It is a good reference for what a school can build up and use.
Tagging @AlejandraMaria for further suggestions
