Don Bosco Mirpara Scouts & Guides (DBMSG) initiated Say No to Polythene Bag campaign in the locality. The main objective of this campaign was to make people aware of the bad effect of polythene bags on environment, human beings and animals. Plastic bags are a plague to the oceans and environment. Along with Surfrider, learn good practices to fight against this pollution. Let’s take action and mobilize our communities to come together and say “No to plastic bags”.

The Scout Master of DBMSG led the campaign. Besides there were many elite members of society who had come to give their tremendous support to this programme. The campaign carried many an activity. As usual the programme started with the motivational and informative lecture from our Rector.

He apprised the people gathered there of the hazardous effect of the use of Polythene bags. He said that polythene is bio-non-degradable product and can't be eliminated without damaging the environment.

When eatables are carried in them, the chemicals used to make them get mixed with them. So polythene bags make the food items poisonous. If the animals chew them, they go to their abdomen and cause them severe pain and most of the time become a strong reason for their deaths.

He further added that polythene bags cause drainage problem and make the city ugly. The 80% of the total garbage is made of polythene bags.

Students took out a rally carrying placards with various slogans in the city. There was enthusiasm among them and the people of the city. It seemed to be a very successful campaign.
