Thematic Report - Environment and Me

by Sainath Manikandan | 17-08-2020 15:50





I wish and hope to heal the environment and love the planet in various ways but am currently inside my home due to the pandemic situation.

I had started my own campaign, PEPC Campaign (Papers, E-wastes, Plastics and Cans) nearly 3 years ago to inform the importance of recycling and to put an end to single-use plastics. As an environmentalist and green activist, I strongly believe that we can change our existing practices into green and sustainable solutions using technology. I am collecting papers, electronic wastes, plastics and cans for recycling. I am also raising awareness about single-use plastic pollution and encouraging individuals and organizations to reduce their carbon footprints through simple everyday choices.

I raise awareness in my school and community by giving pep talks and presentations. Before the lockdown, I use to go in for beach clean-up, desert clean-up campaigns organized by various agencies in UAE to keep our environment clean and to emphasize the importance of reducing wastes and follow 6Rs.

 I am a YOUNG TIMES Panelist and write articles for Young Times Magazine (Khaleej Times) for preserving and protecting the ENVIRONMENT.

I had also innovated a robot, M-Bot Cleaner (Marine Robot Cleaner) to provide vital protection (in a sustainable manner) to the marine habitats as it removes the waste from the surface of the water bodies. The purpose of my project is to preserve our marine environment. I am working towards SDG14 which aims to conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development.

Another innovation of mine is a robot Agribot which supports SDG 2- Zero Hunger. It is a robot used to assist farmers in hot countries to plough the soil, sow the seeds and cover the seeds with soil.

My Action Plans – Environment and Me:

  1. Reduce single-use plastics
  2. Reduce, reuse, recycle (3Rs)
  3. Attend cleanup campaigns
  4. Participate in Community outreach programs
  5. Develop my robot in a bigger scale to preserve our marine species
