Volunteers clean up the plastic mess left behind by unthinking tourists and visitors. The plastic is used by KK Plastic when laying roads with plastic in the bitumen mixture. Clean and Green has conducted some trips to Mutthathi for various corporates viz. Sun Microsystems, Oracle and Honeywell, for their volunteer programmes conducted as part of the CSR initiatives. This April, Clean and Green, was back again at Muthathi. This time, the trip was conducted with the backing of Sun Microsystems as part of their World Wide Volunteer Week. Volunteers made arrangements for the transportation, food for the volunteers, equipment for cleaning, transportation of the garbage to KK Plastics, liaison with Forest Department, etc. Preparatory trip to the site, installing dustbins sponsored by Sun Microsystems at the picnic spot and the cleaning site, was done a week ahead of the trip. A workshop on awareness about Waste Management, with focus on plastic, was conducted on the day before the trip, at the Sun Microsystems office at Langford Road by Clean and Green volunteers. On the day at the venue, Sun Employees, their family and friends, students from UVCE college, BITS Pilani and volunteers from Clean and Green, armed with rakes and sticks, started collecting plastic litter in full earnest. The loads of segregated plastic in gunny bags were stitched, weighed and loaded. A total 220 kg of plastic left Sangam that day. Did the Arkavathy breathe easy?
