Summary:
Thanks to ‘Plastic Arrest’, an initiative by the Green Army, the campaign wing of Thiruvananthapuram corporation’s ‘My City Beautiful City’ project. We had to clear huge piles of garbage in the initial days of Onam from Kanakakkunnu Palace. But after the implementation of the protocol, there was a tremendous reduction in littering,” said Thomas Varghese, Green Army coordinator. “To reduce the amount of non-biodegradable waste, we attached a sticker on the water bottles being sold,” said Ashin Mohan, co-founder, Green Army. Following the success of Plastic Arrest, the corporation in association with Green Army plans to continue the initiative for all events under its purview..
