Mintu and Tintu will now impart valuable lessons on waste management to schoolchildren in Kalamassery.
They are the key characters in the pamphlet on waste management prepared as part of the ‘Cleanliness Kalamassery’ campaign initiated by P. Rajeeve, Minister for Industries and MLA representing the Kalamassery constituency. The publication was launched on the basis of the inference that the first lessons in waste management had to be taught among schoolchildren. It has been designed with colourful pictures and illustrations.
Mintu and Tintu, who venture out for fishing in a pond, come across waste being dumped in the watebody. The children explain the dangers of water pollution. They also speak about various types of pollution and the threat posed by plastic and e-waste pollution.
