DS Smith Launches New Circular Economy Lesson Plan Atlanta, Georgia based DS Smith has launched a lesson plan for young people as part of its ambition to help lead the transition to the circular economy – ‘Let’s Go Circu- lar!’ The plan was launched at the New York Times Climate Hub’s Ellen MacArthur Foundation Café at COP26. Developed for ages 11 to 14, the lesson plan provides a useful set of assets to help teachers and anyone working with young people of that age group to introduce them to the circular economy and explain how we can all play a part in protecting the planet’s natural resources. You can request access to the ‘Let’s Go Circular!’ pack online at www.dssmith.com/lesson-plan/ The lesson includes a variety of everyday examples, activities and videos to explain the difference between the linear and circular economies, and helps young people un- derstand the importance of recycling as part of protecting our finite natural resources.
