During two waste collection sessions, the students were able to observe how the collect is made and they were also able to analysed the waste, they sorted and weighed them. A first collection session took place at the Désirade geological reserve. During this first collection, they found many different objects on the sea: old shoes, ropes, toothbrushes, unidentified micro pieces of plastic. There were several types of material such as, wood, plastic, glass, ceramics, they managed to collect 64.21 kg of waste during a two-hour session. A second session took place around the school in the nearby surroundings so that they could  understand that they, themselves are responsible for the abandoned wastes. They noticed that the collection was different: candy wrappers, cans, etc. They also noticed that it was recent and less damaged waste that the ones found at the seaside. Finally, they listed the different sorting and collection points available on the island. Sorting bins are available near the school. Those sorting bins are very creative since they are fishing nets, fishermen transformed those nets in order to collect plastic bottles. Receptacles for the cans have been placed in the town, these are wooden crates on which drawings have been made by a craftsman from the island. At school, different sorting bins are also available for students. Debates were then carried out within classes to encourage the pupils to question their own behaviour and their families behaviour in order to: learn the different ways of dealing with waste, understand the impact of clean and sorting gestures. They engaged in collective, family, and school actions in order to limit waste, especially food, and reduce waste. They became aware of the pollution generated by the burial of waste, and started acting to keep a clean land for future generations. They participated in a well-argued debate around the topic.
