It is to be implemented in active collaboration with RWAs, Market and Trader Associations, Industrial Associations, etc. by conducting mass awareness campaigns, workshops, rallies, posters and training.

Elaborating upon the need of such environment conscious steps, Abhishek Bansal, Executive Director, Pacific Group said, “It is time to think global, act local by substituting the plastic bags and other necessities with a biodegradable and environment friendly substance. Humans are using millions of plastic bags a minute. Our solution can be switching to cloth, jute or canvas bags, same goes for the other things made of plastic. Humanity is drowning in plastic waste, it is time for us to make a choice between the Mother Earth and plastic.”
