Shaping their belief the children of classes 5, 6 and 7 made paper bags using the old newspapers. They later colored the paper bags to give a vibrant look and wrote messages and poems to inspire others to reduce the use of plastic bags and start using it to carry things. They then began with the distribution drive. They distributed the handmade paper bags to all the people in the vicinity belonging to different strata of the society ,as despite of being aware of the consequence and the threat posed to the environment we are using the slow poison called polythene. They conveyed the message of “REDUCE, REUSE and RECYCLE”. As the children approached the people around , it was amazing to look at the response and many of them were astonished to see such a creative use of old newspapers done by the little environmentalists. The children while presenting the paper bags explained the concept of REUSING and how poly bags can harm our environment. The children inspired the people to use the paper bags while going for shopping .Each one of them took a pledge not to use polythene bags anymore and save the environment .
