Prof. Aekta Gupta said the goal of this Program was to understand the severity of the issue and stop the use of plastic. The Principal emphasized that the Institution is also contributing Plastic on every month. Mr Ranveer Singh, Regional Manager IPCA, highlighted the major challenges faced to the nation as well as Jammu and mentioned that Plastic waste is a major challenge and initiatives to ban plastic have been taken by everyone.
It is the duty of every citizen to think about their environment too. He further said the detailed process of dry and wet waste segregation. It threatens our natural resources such as water, trees, and crops. As plastics get defragmented into small pieces, they get easily swept away into our soil and end up in oceans, then consumed by wildlife and marine life. Thereby, the number of animals and marine life reduces or becomes extinct. It is high time we must understand the intensity at which plastic is destroying our environment.
