About the Community:
Polythene Bags are non-biodegradable, so their decomposition process is very long. As a result they cause soil pollution.
On burning of plastic bags, lot of pollution caused. As a result various natural cycles get adversely effected.
Polythene bags are very harmful for animals & for aquatic life.
We felt:
In Tehna Dipalpur village, use of polythene bags is heavy. Everywhere polythene bags are scattered. As village is on state highway, animals always roaming on the side way of
the road, they also eat these polythene. And some time these polythene bags are responsible for their death.
We imagined that our village area & surrounding get rid of these polythene bags and from its deadly impact.
No plastic bags will be used by any community members for any use.
Shopkeepers also stop using polythene bags as carry bags for sale of materials.
No pollution due to polythene bags in the village.
We Imagine:
Tehna village will be model village in the state of Haryana where no one use polythene bags.
Village will be noted as “Tehna polythene free Dipalpur”
We Did: •We display posters/ banners with appealing slogans on stopping use of polythene bags.
•Individual counseling of the village.
•We had organized a rally to communicate our message to mass community.
•Visited village & surrounding area of the village, collect polythene bags & burnt them in front of village. Also share harmful effects of the polythene bags.
•Counseling of shopkeepers for not using polythene bags.
Impact on Community:
Due to counseling of students, one of the shopkeeper at the same
time burnt all the polythene bags which were their in his shops.
Parents of the students felt very happy when they saw their children were too much aware of these type of community issue. And more happy when these children started counseling their parents/
Guardians.
•Students aware of harmful effect of polythene bags.
•Students starts leading these type of social & community issue.
•Student get motivated while they were in between the community.
Impact on Us:
Students joined hand to hand and takes “banning of polythene bag in the village”
is priority issue.
•Involve more community member in the movement of stopping use of polythene bags.
•Banner & Poster displaying at common places of the village.
•Motivate community for one hour Je nku on every Sunday for collection of polythene bags in the village & surrounding & burnt them.
