According to statistics, people in Germany produce the most garbage compared to people in other European countries. I focused on plastic waste and decided to look at how much plastic a typical family of 4 produces. How much plastic do we use as a single household?

I wanted to show this more clearly and transparently, so I picked up the trash with the plastic waste that was collected in our house during the day, and it turned out to be not so little. It was surprising the amount of packaging that could be discarded. The plan is to shoot this series within a couple of weeks.
