“We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.” The future generation is predicted to experience a shortage of resources along with the impact of plastic pollution.
It is important that future generations are aware of waste management and do not make the mistakes that we did.
To help spread awareness on plastic waste management, WeCare, in association with Recykal and Nothing Is Waste, conducted several programs across various schools and colleges in Tamil Nadu.

The first step to waste management is to begin conscious disposing of waste at home. Just like how charity begins at home, a better future begins at home too.
On the whole, the programs held throughout all the schools were a success and received participation from 10 schools and 7 colleges in different districts of Tamil Nadu.
We believe inculcating the concepts of waste management among children and youth of our country will significantly help shape our nation’s future.
