Awareness
We conducted a workshop with the students associated with the NGO Guild of Service during which we covered the importance of recycling and discussed small-scale steps we can take to reduce plastic waste in our daily lives.
In addition to this, we also held a reading of the Let’s Upcyle Children’s book series - “Urvi’s Expert Upcycling” and “Rupa Reuses and Recycles”
We set up awareness stalls at the IIFL JITO Ahimsa Run to encourage participation in our recycling initiatives.
We encouraged people to trash their plastic water bottles in our collection bags so that it could be recycled and reused.
