#EndPlasticPollution

While we need to reduce plastic use, managing huge amounts of plastic waste is also a major issue. India generations approximately 5.6 million tons of plastic waste annually. Much of this is not collected, managed, recycled or put to other use.

To build awareness, earthday.org India coordinates with:

Religious leaders to have places of worship declared plastic-free zones
Municipal corporations to have low-micron plastic bags banned
Housing societies to educate them to segregate plastic waste
Large shopping centers to request them to #SayNoToPlasticBags
Visitors to not litter beaches, lands, rivers and mountains
Earth Day Network runs citizen-led initiatives to #EndPlasticPollution. Working with multiple partners, we supported an All-India Plog Run across 50 cities in India that had 2.8 million people participate. Major cleanups have taken place on beaches in Maharashtra that include Mumbai’s famous Juhu beach. Major hotel chains have come forward to support our campaign to #RefuseTheStraw. Working with religious heads we have succeeded in getting major sites, visited by millions, declare themselves No Plastic Zones. Other particular focus areas for #EndPlasticPollution campaigns are the entire length of the River Ganges, all coastal regions, mountainous area and 2nd Tier cities.
