The project is dedicated to raise awareness of the dangerous of plastic bags and reuse the waste plastic bags.Human beings are producing more and more plastic wastes each day which become problem for the environment.We choose this project because we feel that destruction of the environment from plastic bags should and must be stopped to give a chance to our future generation to be able to enjoy the environment the way we do right now. we have working on the project since October 2010.
Our purpose is to get young people educated about reusing Plastic bags in India.In this sense we have made Youth and Children join the campaign Young Ambassador Waste Management.Actually recycling and reusing has already been rooted into every corner however, it tends to be orderless. Without proper supervision and coordination,thus not benefiting people as much as it could.To achieve our goal we organized Youth Interaction and awareness programme in our local area and our group also designed the Young Ambassador for Waste Management programme.Through this programme we make young ambassador in local area school,colleges and community.It is a system in which the young ambassadors arrange to collect the waste plastic bags from school,colleges and society homes and now we are create network with 35 new ambassador from various schools and society.People will also get back products directly made from their own waste plastic bags.We want to make aware people about the practical things that they can do to reuse plastic begs. It has become a regular operation in our school and recently we also organized some exhibition and training camps with the help of local authority. We have started our project in 2010.At the time of starting we started 'Say To No Plastic Bags' campaign to reduce the uses of plastic bags.Then we started interaction programme in 3 categories (Children,Youth and Civilion).Through this campaign we came to know about the opinion of children,youth and civilions in the regard.During this period we have make aware to the people by the mean of posters and rally.We also requested other school to join the campaign and by this way total 6 school join our 'Say To No plastic Bags' campaign.As a result we found that uses of plastic bags decreased 60%-65% but not completely and still the people using plastic bags and then after they use to throw the bags in open ground and its create unhealthy and unhygienic environment.to solve this problem we have used our indigenous knowledge and efforts towards making of Baskets,ropes,hand maded fan and bags from waste plastic bags material.During the starting days it was limited upto our craft classes only.Then after to promote this mission we organized the awakening programme and as a result selected 35 new young ambassadors through a process. In the begining we have started out programme in a group of 10 students and now we have a strength of 35 young ambassadors,10 school students and 2 society group to gear up this programme more efficiently.For our guidance now we have two local authority and some NGO and they help us to organized training camps time to time. PROJECT RESULTS- After our campaign in our local area uses of plastic bags decreased by 60%-65%.We want to make change in our area,we have chosen decrease the uses of plastic bags and reuse the plastic bags as our first target.Now we have a team of highly trained young people raising awareness about the reuse of plastic bags People of our area were using 19-20 plastic bags per week and we found that after our Say To No Plastic Bag campaign it remain only 6-7 plastic bag per week.Now after that we have started a programme to reuse the used and waste plastic bags.Taking our interest in view numbers of people come forward for our help. We have started this project in 2010 with a small group of students and this time we have 10 schools,35 young ambassadors,many NGO,local authority and volunteers. ACT LOCALY,THINK GLOBALLY. |
