CII Mysuru has announced a large-scale plastic clean-up activity in Mysuru on June 4 to celebrate World Environment Day. The initiative aims to engage citizens of Mysuru and raise awareness about the harmful effects of plastic pollution and promote a cleaner and healthier environment for the community through collective effort to clean up the area in and around the Ring Road in Mysuru.
“The plastic consumption in India has grown at a significant pace, producing huge quantities of plastic waste in a year, reducing ecosystems’ ability to adapt to climatic changes, directly affecting millions of people’s livelihoods, food production capabilities and social wellbeing. It has become a global concern, affecting ecosystems, wildlife, and human health. It is imperative for individuals, organisations, and communities to come together and take action to combat this issue,” according to the CII.
CII Mysuru is organising two major initiatives - Ideathon competition with the concept of ‘Reduce, Reuse and Recycle’ plastic to be conducted on June 3 and mega plastic clean-up drive from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. on June 4 (Sunday) on the Ring Road followed by awareness session and pledge between 9.30 a.m. and 11 a.m. at JK Ground (Mysuru Medical College Sports Ground).
