Thank you for all the love and support towards my Environmental Awareness Campaign "Small Act Great Impact"

Supradeepti Bhandari, Student of Bsc Environmental Science at Saptagandaki Multiple Campus from Bharatpur 10, Chitwan, Nepal has sent her creativity to participate in this campaign.

She Says:

'Turning trash into cash' making handicraft (junk art) out of the junks that we throw after a single use.

It has always been my hobby since childhood that i have been making different handicrafts such as coca-cola bottle sub marine, storge book out of cardboard box, cars, ambulance, houses, pen stand, toys out of boxes and many more.

This small effort of making a handicraft out of the junks from our household has been helpful to minimize the trash we throw everyday eventually saving environment and surrounding.  It has helped me not only to collect materials for my crafts also to keep my surrounding clean and the childrens around me to learn about the reusing aspect of these materials to save environment. It has also made my community members to actively participate in assisting me find the materials for handicrafts by giving those reusable trash from their households as well.

For making these handicrafts I have been collecting the materials from all around my neighbourhood to wherever I see the reusable materials on my way.

By this project i have been reusing the boxes, bottles, tin cans, papers etc to make useful handicrafts for my house and also i have been able to gift these handicrafts to other friends and family.

Through all these junk art competition organized by different youth organisation, this reusing of materials and turning them into creative handicrafts has created an impact of awareness between young people and communities about environment conservation and I  have been able to participate being part of it.
