Environmental Protection Awareness Campaigns titled ‘Say No To Plastic Bags at Tamil Nadu’ at Madras Christian College, awareness programme and free distribution of Cloth Bags
- Utkarsh Global Foundation has distributed around 10,000 cloth bags to students to motivate them to shun use of plastic bags.
Chennai, 6th July 2019: Utkarsh Global Foundation, a non-profit organisation based in Mumbai, is collaborating with Tamil Nadu Government for the implementation of the historic and very much needed plastic ban in the state.
As a part of the collaboration, Utkarsh
Global Foundation will be conducting awareness programmes in schools, colleges
and public places, along with free distribution of cloth bags. We intend to
cover 295 educational institutions in Tamil Nadu for the campaign.
Our first stop was at the prestigious Madras
Christian College at Tambaram in Chennai held recently. We have conducted an
awareness programme which included an inspiring and informative talk on the
effects of plastic pollution on the environment and how it affects the health
and survival of not just human beings but also animals, both land and marine.
The aim is to spread awareness about plastic
pollution amongst the young students with the hope that they will inspire and
encourage others in using less plastic in their day-to-day use. These students
are the citizens of tomorrow and we hope by educating them, we will be able to
create a plastic-free, clean and healthier planet.
Utkarsh Global Foundation pleased to inform
that TVS Tyres, one of India’s leading two and three- wheeler tyre manufacturer
and Tamil Nadu’s pride, will be sponsored the event.
