Environmental Awareness Campaigns
In 2022-23, RELF has organized several environmental awareness camps as below.
Jam Street
Jam street was organized by JUSCO on 29 January 2023, at Sakchi-Golchakar, Jamshedpur. Relearn foundation took part at jam street. We had two stalls at the event where team members displayed some eco-friendly products like fly ash products, and paper-based products i.e. Paper plates, green garbage bags, paper brick models, planter covers, and key hangers. Relearn foundation team members also demonstrated electronic kits and 3D models. We also held a drawing competition in which students of Saahaj Pathshala and other school children took a part.
Green Garbage Bag (GGB)
In an effort to reduce and restrict the hazardous effect of plastics bags, the relearn foundation has devised the green garbage bag (GGB). The GGBs is an indigenously designed and developed, biodegradable alternative aimed at minimizing the use of plastic garbage bags and thereby reducing its harmful consequences. The GGBs are made by beneficiaries of the foundation, while promoting to reduce usage of plastic. It has also provided livelihood opportunities to the beneficiaries of the foundation.
Resue & Recycle
Pre-used clothes “Sunday sale”
Every Sunday of a week, we sell pre-used items like clothes, bags, shoes, etc. at negligible price instead of donating these items, so that the buyers feel respected by purchasing those products. Relearn Foundation organized pre-used cloth distribution event at Vijaya Garden, Baridih, Jamshedpur. This is to promote REUSE and RECYCLING of pre- used clothes. Volunteers of Relearn Foundation participated in the event. They help the local to find the right cloth for them and ensure that the clothes fit properly and meet their needs. These events are great successes with a footfall of local community. Response from community is worthwhile. Beside that Relearn Foundation received a large number of cloths from the well-wishers and other donors.
Plogging Event
We organised a plogging initiative on 4th April and again in 5th june2022. Volunteers gathered together and did plogging while jogging or walking along predetermined routes. We collected 6 bags of plastics in morning from roads of Vijaya Garden. A plastic bank has been made behind our office of RELF. Planning how to recycle these plastics as there is no takers for soiled plastic, also making compost at home from kitchen waste. Collected litter is carefully segregated into recyclable and non-recyclable waste, ensuring proper disposal in collaboration with local waste management facilities.
