" As a Volunteer, I am excited to learn about different cultures and languages, expand my networks and gain unmatched professional and life experiences. Working for the welfare of people would give me the opportunity to step outside my comfort zone, to learn new approaches to tasks and problems and to operate in different environments. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Beyond Plastic
We aim to spread awareness about climate change and the hazardous effects it can have on human life. We plan to clean the beaches and donate the collected plastic for recycling and promote sustainable practices at the college level- like waste management using 6 different dustbins, forming telegram/Whatsapp groups to keep the readers/students in the loop reminding them that climate change is not a hoax. We'll try to do deep research on fast fashion on our college campus via various surveys and write a research paper on how this industry is contributing to environmental pollution. Additionally, we plan to plant more trees around the college campus and use RTI to know about govt steps to control climate change, encourage people to do a regular PUC check for their vehicles, and conduct webinars on promoting sustainability, circular economy, and veganism.
