The event also hosted sustainable counters: Miracle Enzyme displayed bio-enzymes; Nilayaan showcased their composting options; Vaishnavi Venkatesh, a resident of Kamaraj Avenue set up a counter to start a ‘Swap not Shop’ group, where interested people can post about their requirements (especially for trendy clothes) or items that they want to give out. 

The Environmentalist Foundation of India (EFI) also stationed the ‘Lakes on Wheels’ to raise awareness about water pollution and the necessity to save our water reserves. 

The highlight of the event however was the street play put up by FEETS and a skit composed, directed and performed by the children of Kasturba Nagar, which highlighted the necessity of adopting solid waste management (SWM) in our lives and burst the myths associated with it. Contact ROKA at 86674 99135; [email protected], to know more about the drive and get further notification about such drives happening in the city.
