Aim of the activity
Plastic is everywhere nowadays. People are using it endlessly.

Without realising how it is harming our planet. We need to

become aware of the consequences so that we can stop plastic

pollution. Children if taught from their childhood to avoid

using single use plastic will ensure that as adults they will act

more responsible.

The aim of the project was to spread awareness among the

students about the single use plastic bags and the sheer

volume of plastic waste it generates. With an aim to

understand its impact on the environment a study was

undertaken to understand how Nepal deal with this issue.

The idea was to make students understand the gravity of the

situation and encourage them to discuss and find alternative

solutions to the given problem.

The students of Std. VII and VIII, being part of this project

will learn what is the single use plastic? How it is affecting

the whole earth, including mankind, wildlife, and aquatic

life. A comparative study of countries like Nepal, China,

India, Bhutan and U.K with help them understand how this

menace impacts other countries and how they deal with it.

They will also understand how simple habits of using a cloth
