Workshop was on How Thousands of Children in Pune Prevented Over 50 Tonnes of Plastic from Reaching the Sea and how teachers can create awareness among students about the same.
A unique Pune-based initiative, Sagar Mitra Abhiyan an NGO to save the oceans by recycling the plastic hopes to change the thought of most people who still aren’t convinced of the link between carelessly discarding a water bottle and damage in the seas, by creating a cultural shift in public perceptions and behaviour concerning plastic pollution.
Under the programme, school children in Pune have been collecting plastic items from their homes for safe disposal, assisted by their teachers and community workers.
