From Cleaner Communities to Future Careers
Litter is also a supply chain problem.
Everything students use, from a water bottle to a cell phone, travels through a supply chain. What happens to products and packaging after we use them is part of that system too.
Supply Chains for Good also offers supply chain education that introduces students to the systems behind the products they use every day and to the wide range of careers involved in getting products and services from their source to the people who need them.
A lesson about litter can therefore become something much bigger:
What happens to this bottle after I throw it away?
Where did it come from in the first place?
Who made it?
How did it get here?
Could we design the system better?
Those are supply chain questions, and they introduce students to an entirely new way of looking at the world around them.
