SAY NO TO LITTERING!

AAYAN KUMAR PG

What inspired you to take up the anti-littering initiative?

People in my community kept on littering though there are ample dustbins around. This made me realize that I had to do something to stop this behaviour.

How did you form the Anti-Littering Team and how did you raise awareness in your community?

One of my like-minded friends, Abhiram joined me and with the support of our parents, we formed the Anti-Littering Team. We created anti-littering posters, stuck them on our bicycles, and set out on our first anti-littering awareness round on March 7. We approached strangers and requested them to use dustbins or carry their waste, such as chocolate wrappers and bottles, home with them where they could dispose them off in the right way instead of carelessly littering the place.

What activities and drives have you conducted so far?

We have conducted door-to-door campaigns and urged people to support us by pledging not to litter and to participate in our drives. Our supporters are given 'anti-littering' stickers, which they stick near their main doors. We have carried out four cleanliness drives in our area in which we have picked up waste materials and segregated them into recyclables and trash. We have also organized a poster-making event in which children made posters using waste paper and cardboard.
