*Missions and activities of your group/project
our initial mission is to tidy up our city in terms of all waste. We then sort the waste according to paper, plastic and foil. We do various cleaning exercises followed by greening the city. We also make posters to educate people.
*Characteristics of the group/project activities
The Main goal is to make people aware of Rs reusing, refilling, reducing, recycling and refusing to use plastics. Every week we meet up and plan for the forth coming week. We either organise clean ups, visit educational centres where we learn more about the Rs make posters which are put in various public places and in this way awareness is created, go and talk to owners of various companies on reducing or rethinking on alternates to plastics. We also have various collection points where people throw their plastic waste which we collect and then sell for recycling. The money is then used for tree planting activities.
*Most importnat way of thinking of your group/project for environment
In reality it hasbeen proved that any material which is non bio degradeable and thrown anywhere can cause harm to life. Plastics do not rot like food. When left in the environment, they are bound to be consumed by animals whose death is then immediate. At the same time dump sites keep piling up.
*Major publications and articles
Once a clean up area is identified and cleaned up, we send written proposals for implementation. We are still working on articles.
