This project is organized in several stages of classroom activities. First, the introduction stage consists of two activities that invite students to identify the problems caused by excessive plastic consumption. Students practice observing, reading, and concluding how terrible plastic pollution affects the world.

Second is the contextualization stage. Students observe how much they and their families use plastic daily. Students are also presented with data and facts about plastic, its relationship with humans, its usefulness, and its negative environmental impact. Students are also introduced to ecobricks as an alternative solution to plastic pollution.

The third stage is the action stage which invites students to take real action by making ecobricks. Students are asked to prepare the things needed before the classes, such as collecting dry and clean used plastic from home, then bringing it to school to practice making ecobricks together. As a further action, students will be asked to design an eco-literacy corner from the ecobricks that they make as an effort to campaign the ecobrick goal of reducing the use of plastic at school.

The fourth stage is reflection/assessment. This stage invites students to reflect on their understanding of plastic and their learning process. Students are asked to review their knowledge about ecobrick through a board game. Then, students do a 21-day challenge to form plastic-free habits.

The fifth stage is the presentation. At this stage, students create a literacy work as an environmental action campaign. This work is published in the school's Eco-literacy corner. In addition, students invite their parents to make ecobricks together in an ecobrick exhibition session.
