🌱 What Happened
Two teenagers from Mumbai, India, Ayush Ranjan and Ria Sharma, have taken an innovative approach to combat the issue of plastic waste. Using the concept of eco-bricks, they’ve been converting plastic waste into durable, reusable bricks.
💡 Impact
Their initiative, named Plasti-Brick, has already collected and converted more than 50,000 kilograms of plastic waste. These eco-bricks are used to build homes for the underprivileged, creating a positive impact on both the environment and society.
📍 The Bigger Picture
- Plasti-Brick’s work addresses two critical issues- waste management and affordable housing
- Donations and support have poured in from all corners of Mumbai
- The initiative has inspired other young individuals in India to take on environmental challenges
Their story is an example of how young minds can make a difference with innovative ideas. Let’s support such initiatives, reduce our plastic consumption, and ensure a cleaner, greener future for all. To follow their journey or contribute to their cause, visit their website here.
