The document summarizes the efforts of a group called "I CAN EKLAVYA" to address garbage issues in the Mangnath Road shopping area. The group observed large amounts of mixed garbage with no garbage bins. They proposed solutions like banning plastic, providing separate bins for biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste, and using biodegradable waste for energy. The group then held an awareness campaign in local shops to educate about garbage sorting and reducing plastic use, encouraging people to be the change for a cleaner city.

2. STEP – 1
Area – Mangnath Road shopping market
DISASTER:
This area is very narrow and famous for shopping. It is
generally crowded in evenings. We saw people careless and
showing neglegence about the garbage thrown there by
everyone which included both bio degradable and non
biodegradable wastes like
• plastic cups after having tea in it.
• leftover of rotten fruits and vegetables unsold.
• animals' dung.
• polyethene bags.
• Empty bottles of soft drinks.
• Wrappers of various edible items.
• People spitting after chewing tobbaco.

3. HAZARDS:
• Stray animals eating this plastic causes their death
• Lots of non biodegradable waste deposition emitting
dangerous radiations and causing pollution and harmful
health hazards.
• Even biodegradable waste causing spread of microbes and
thus prove to be vectors for many diseases.
• Biodegradable waste being good source of energy is
wasted which can be otherwise used as a source of
energy.
• Spitting here and there is responsible for the spread of
many dreadful diseases.
• Thus none of the things that we are seeing today are
free from pollution. The air we breathe, the soil which
nurtures our plants and the water that we drink and
also use to cultivate our plants.

4. GARBAGE AS SEEN BY US.
There is so much of garbage that there is no
space for parking and walking too.

5. The flow of the garbage is so much but there
is no dustbin in that area.

6. Eating There! Throwing There!
Parking There!

7. All kind of garbage you can find here but not
a dustbin.

8. STEP – 2
IMAGINATION
1) By Seeing all this we thought for taking the
initiative towards a new city, green city and clean
city.
2) As plastic is non – biodegradable waste, it cannot
decompose.So, government should ban plastic,
and give an alternative for the same
3) We should make dustbins mandatory at in the shops
and huge dustbins at regular distance which should
be disposed off on regular basis.
4) Cleaning Department has also its responsibility to
clean dustbins.

9. 7) If we collect the biodegradable waste, we can not
only use its gas for cooking but also the slurry can be
used as a best fertilizer.
8) There should be 2 separate dustbins provided by
municipal corporations. One should of biodegradable
waste and other of non – biodegradable waste.
9) By following these steps, we can make our city,
clean, healthy & prosperous.

10. STEP – 4
PLANNING
1) We have decided to go to Mangnath road and clean
that area and spread awareness about its illeffects
among the people by organising an awareness campaign.
After the campaign we will also take an oath to keep the
city clean and tidy.

11. Awareness Campaign
We had planned to start our campaign from Azad Chowk.
We had reached there at 9:30 AM.
We had divide our group members in a team of 5 pupil.
From Azad chowk, we started Campaign.
We all have made a policy that we will talk with the
shopkeepers politely and try to create interest.
We had gone to various kind of shops such as grossery,
selling electrical material, vendors selling vegetables and
fruits, cycle store, florists, medical stores, bakery, etc….. .
The above mention can be referred as factory of
spreading plastic of various types .

12.  During the caimpaign we were not shaken up by
the negative feedback.
We also encouraged people to use paper bags or
cloths bags.
Thus with this caimpaign we thank our school
management to make us think divergent and make
us think that we are the citizens of our country
and we should take the initiative and responsibility
for a better tommorow. Be it cleanliness or
corruption, traffic or parking, or any other
problems we should take the initiative towards the
solution of the problem instead of blaming others
or waiting for others to change.
Yes, We would be the change that we wish to see in
the world...
