“Plastic free July 2019” celebrated

Chandigarh:

The Department of Biochemistry, Panjab University celebrated “Plastic free July 2019” by carrying out various outreach activities and awareness campaign at the GSSS Khuda Lahora. Prof. Archana Bhatnagar, Chairperson, highlighted that nearly ten billion plastic has been produced globally and ninety percent of that has never been recycled! This triggered the students of the department to meet school children so as to make them aware of harmful impact of plastic on environment by encouraging them to refuse plastic to create a clean and green city. The school children participated 
actively and promised to consciously work to reduce single-use items. This was done by way of quiz, sensitization of girl students towards biodegradable sanitary napkins which were also donated to the underprivileged girls by students. The program ended with tree plantation and tree adoption by teachers and students.
