spreading the importance of trees, "We have only learnt to use plastic, but the
second thing about plastic is its disposal which we have not learnt. But only
awareness is not enough to convince people. So why depend on others when we can
take action ourselves? Other than plastic we also want to eliminate dry
waste.This collection of plastic bags will now be given to the Nirbhaya
Foundation that has been championing the elimination of plastic in the city for
the last 18 months. So we send this plastic to make high-speed diesel, which can
be used in cars, generators and where every diesel can be used. Just like when
