Mangaluru, Jun 29: Plastic, the wonder material and the most harmful trash dumped by the humans, has affected the life and health of human beings during the last decade. Unfortunately, the easily made and cheap plastic pollute the environment as they do not break down in nature and are non-biodegradable. With an instinct to save the environment and to create an awareness among the people, ‘Abhinav’ the Hindi club of St Agnes PU College conducted a ‘No Plastic’ drive on June 27, during the value education hour.

To set an example for others, under the aegis of ‘Goobay’, a non-profitable organisation, as an initiative against the excessive use of plastic in our daily life, the students of St Agnes PU College prepared bags made out of paper which were very innovative and attractive in nature. These bags were handed over to ‘Goobay’ on the following day.

This initiative taken by the ‘Goobay’ organisers as St Agnes College was the first college to hand over the bags to them. These bags would be distributed among the vendors in and around Mangaluru for further use.
