Say No to Single-Use Plastic
Because the bag you carry can change the city you live in.
Say No to Single-Use Plastic
In just two hours on a weekend, our volunteers collect 300 to 400 plastic covers from a single market. The same market runs for 8 to 10 hours a day. Multiply that across a week. Across a month. The numbers run into the tens of thousands - all for want of one reusable bag.
Ground action, one conversation at a time.
Newspaper Bag Making
Volunteers and community members hand-craft carry bags from old newspapers and scrap paper, giving plastic a ready, free replacement.
Market Exchange Drives
We set up at busy Bengaluru markets, especially Majestic and local sabzi mandis, and exchange paper or cloth bags for plastic covers.
Cloth Bag Distribution
Reusable cloth bags are distributed directly to vendors and shoppers with a simple ask: use this, and never use plastic again.
Vendor Awareness
We speak with vendors because when one vendor stops offering plastic bags, the impact multiplies with every customer they serve.
School & Community Sessions
Workshops explain why single-use plastic is dangerous to health, waterways, and the animals we share the city with.
The solution is not complicated. It is a habit.
Bengaluru generates over 5,000 metric tonnes of waste every day. A significant share is single-use plastic that clogs drains, chokes lakes, and enters the food chain.
Most single-use plastic is used for less than 15 minutes before being discarded. Habits are built through repeated, human, face-to-face nudges - exactly what our volunteers do, weekend after weekend.
