I never thought much about the environment until one rainy day in Hyderabad, when I saw plastic waste floating in the water near my school. It shocked me how such a small thing like a chocolate wrapper could end up choking a drain or harming animals.

That day, I decided to become more aware — and take action.

I started by doing small things:

I refused plastic bags while shopping

I began using a steel bottle instead of plastic

I encouraged my classmates to bring their own lunch boxes instead of foil

Then I discovered TUNZA Eco Generation. It inspired me to learn more and connect with students from all around the world who care about the same issues.

Now, I plan to start a "Green Week" campaign in my school — where students will avoid plastic for 7 days, plant at least one sapling, and share what they learn with others. I want to create posters, speak in assemblies, and maybe even start a small Eco Club.

I believe students like us can make a difference — not by being perfect, but by being consistent and aware. This is just the beginning of my journey, and I’m excited to grow with the Eco Generation community.
