The decision they practise
In the main activity, “Fix Malik’s bin station”, learners fix a realistic scene and see the effect of each choice. In “Stefan and the bins”, a face-to-face conversation, learners practise what to say and do when the other person pushes back. The wrong options are things a well-meaning person might genuinely say, and the feedback explains why each one is tempting. Short animations show “The waste hierarchy” and “A week of one bad habit”.
