Eco bricks sitting under ‘E’ ( environment)of SHEROES

Charter no.-5001
Plastic pollution is one of the most important and talked about issues faced by the whole world today . The land the oceans the forest our rivers everything is polluted by the plastic wastes that comes out of our homes ,shops and from our everyday lives . Inner Wheel Club of Gangtok has taken a step towards reducing this plastic waste. Over this last one year we have been collecting the plastic wastes from our own homes ,our neighbours or the shops nearby. We have been collecting the plastic wastes and plastic bottles . The bottles could be either plastic water bottles which are of no use in Sikkim now or cold drink bottles or juice bottles or any bottles used . The purpose is to reduce them from going into the environment.
We kept filling the the empty plastic bottles with plastic waste in our homes every single day . Over the last one year we had collected hundreds of plastic bottles with tightly-filled plastic wastes and these bottles were used as eco-bricks . Those were further used to make seats and benches in different sitting areas at different points.
Sikkim government has played a vital role in keeping Sikkim a plastic free state ,keeping that in view we have also created an eco bench at Community Health Centre at soreng ( west sikkim) . It is 3 1/2 hours journey from Gangtok.
Today is on 27th Feb 2022 we had a small inaugural function.
The message that we want to give out to the community is that if as a community each one of us come together to create such type of eco bricks with the plastic bottles and plastic wastes at home then we could extend hand in reducing the huge issue of plastic pollution and help in preventing them. These bottles could be handed over to the predesignated areas abd hence these bottles could be used to create benches wherever needed.
Let us become a part of this project and help in our small ways to create a better lives for our future generation.
