Anti Polythene Bag Campaign in KCA

The Eco Club members of the Kangchenjunga Conservation Area (KCA) actively participated in the Anti Polythene Bag Campaign organized by the Kangchenjunga Conservation Area Project (KCAP).

With the aim to disseminate information to a large audience, the campaign was launched during a hattiya (local market) at Phungling VDC of Taplejung District.

Eco Club members played a crucial role by participating in a rally with Anti Polythene bag slogans and pamphlets and by selling the jute bags to the local people. Jute bags were sold at minimal rates to encourage the use of jute bags instead of polythene bags.

More than 500 Eco club members from 6 different schools actively participated in the program. It was also a very good opportunity for the eco Club members to generate funds for their Eco Clubs.
