Plastic pollution is a global problem, and to tackle it, I have conducted various activities in my area. I conduct and attend cleanliness drives where we collect plastic to recycle it. I have also conducted awareness campaigns about the hazards of plastics on our health and the environment. These campaigns were conducted for sanitation workers as they are the ones who deal with plastic on a regular basis. This year, on the independence day on the 15th of August, I conducted an awareness campaign for dumb and deaf children at CR Ranganathan school with the help of Poornam Ecovision Foundation. We distributed cloth bags and with the help of the teachers at the school, we were able to communicate the hazards of plastics to the students. Through all of these efforts, I got selected in the Changemakers Bootcamp at IIT Delhi where my team created a prototype to filter microplastics.
