Before a school trip to Mussoorie, Saniya and Saurabh were constantly 
complaining about the unavailability of plastic carry bags for their 
purchases since the ban by the state government.
When they reached Mussoorie, they went for a walk on the Mall Road with  
the group. They were happily surprised to see clean and well maintained 
roads. There were dustbins placed strategically, and there were posters 
and information cards everywhere requesting tourists and locals to keep 
the city clean. They noticed signs that read 'Plastic Free Zone', and 
understood why the place was cleaner. It was an eye opener for both of 
them. They promised themselves to contribute and support the cause. 
They decided to take it further and spread the message of sustainable 
development for a healthy environment among their friends.
