Yesterday, our group embarked on a mission to reclaim our local park (#Kolkata’s iconic landmarks) from the clutches of plastic pollution. We combed through the greenery, collecting 7 bags of plastic waste. Yet, this was just a drop in the ocean compared to the vast 400-acre expanse tainted by plastic bags, cups, spoons, straws, and shattered glass bottles. Our hearts ache knowing that innocent creatures like cows, dogs, and horses wander amidst this plastic peril, ingesting harmful materials. The absence of proper waste bins for recycling exacerbates the issue, leaving us with an earnest plea to the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (#KMC) to amplify its efforts in clearing plastic and provide sufficient waste bins for effective segregation. We cannot afford to delay action any longer. The solution lies not just in cleaning up but in preventing further harm( by halting the creation of new consumers and waste makers to win the war on waste ) . Let's join forces to stop the cycle of consumption and waste creation. The time for change is now. *** A heartfelt thank you to all the volunteers who traveled from far and wide to join us in our plogging initiative, especially in this intense heat!
