Best Practice-1: Plastic free zone at college campus
Context
Plastic has improved the convenience of modern living. It is omnipresent in our lives today. However, plastic waste is rising drastically every day. It takes a while for it to break down into the soil when we discard it as waste. This component is essentially non-biodegradable. However, when it finally degrades, a variety of toxic chemicals are released, poisoning the water and soil ecosystems. Furthermore, burning it releases a variety of harmful gases that greatly worsen air pollution. In addition to these problems, plastic garbage clogs drainage systems and prevents water from penetrating the ground.

Following careful consideration of the chemical risks associated with the careless use of plastic, our college has chosen to eliminate plastic from the campus as per the decision made in the Teachers' Council Meeting in 2019.
