The natural world is incredible and has evolved to be in perfect balance, with every living thing playing an important role.  

Sadly, nature is under threat and the actions of human beings are having a negative impact on habitats both locally and globally.  

Thankfully, nature gives us the solutions to many of the challenges that our planet faces! 

Working with and restoring nature helps our climate; it helps provide clean water, clean air and creates a waste-free world! 

For this challenge you could consider: 

  • Species threatened locally and how to support them 
  • Nature based solutions  
  • How to avoid deforestation and take action to reforest 
  • Regenerative farming and growing your own food 
  • Creating habitats  

Essential information for this challenge

You need to cover the following points in your video. 

  • Introduce your school and your Earthshot and why you chose the Build a Waste-Free World challenge. 
  • Share your school-based solution – what have you done or plan to do and why?  
  • How has it made a difference or how will you know if it has made a difference?  
  • Share your global innovative solution, the research behind it and what impact you would hope it can make. 
  • Any other information that you want to include that is relevant for the judges.  

Remember to be creative with your video and try to ‘sell’ your idea! 

Videos should be shot in landscape and be no longer than three minutes.
