Save Water and Trees by avoiding Plastics Rally Project

A Project By Giants Group Of Greater Madurai Saheli

In an effort to create awareness among the people about the importance of saving water and trees by avoiding plastics we conducted rally on 7^th march 2019. During the save water rally the students showcased the placards. The rally was able to attract the interest of the people and was successful in educating the people about the importance in avoiding plastics. Students asked people not to use plastic and made them to pledge to aware their parents and neighbours not to use plastic bags in their houses.

Reduce

Reduce your own plastic waste. Start by using plastic calculator which is available on internet to track how much you use, so that you can take steps to reduce your use and waste.

Reuse

Bring your own reusable shopping and produce bags to markets, and avoid using single-use plastic bags.

Bring your own reusable coffee cup when going out to get beverages.

Like sipping through straws? Get a reusable stainless steel, glass, or bamboo one to use instead of wasteful plastic ones.

Instead of buying water in plastic bottles, invest in a water filter and reusable water bottle(s). Bonus: it’s cheaper in the long run.

Make your own reusable cloth bags from old t-shirts, using basic sewing skills (or no sewing at all).

Choose clothing and other personal items made from earth-friendly materials instead of microfibers and other synthetic fibers, which pollute our water.

Bring a reusable container to a restaurant with you when you expect to have leftovers.

Refuse

Refuse straws: It’s as simple as adding, “No straw, please” when requesting beverages at restaurants or cafes.

Refuse beverage tops.

Remove

Pick up trash in your neighborhood and when visiting parks and beaches.

Recycle

Recycle the plastics you use and no longer need.

Return single-use bags to grocery stores for them to recycle.
