I organised a group session with my neighbours and friends wherein I discussed various possibilities and actions we can take to sustain our milieu. Everybody knows about the concept of environmental sustainability but mostly it is only in theory. 

      I spread awareness about simple things we can incorporate in our daily life.  Other than recycling, I also addressed another pillar of sustainabilitywhich is also rather new comparativelyUpcycling. I showed them a few examples of upcycled material which I had made such as a penholder from interlocked newspaper strips and an upcycled flower pot made of a tissue box and plastic bottles. I urged them to bring out their creativity and upcycle in a fun and innovative manner (pictures). I also taught them to make  upcycled jewellery beads made of straws.This made integration of upcycling into their lifestyle easier for them.  

     At the end of these activities, I conducted a green quiz with some questions based on the powerpoint presentation and some testing the participants' general knowledge on the topics Recycling and Upcycling.

      It was an eye-opening and enriching experience for the participants as well as myself.
