BRIEF DESCRIPTION
We produce increasing amounts of waste each year, using natural resources at a faster rate than ever and putting strain on the environment's capacity to deal with waste. Given the immediacy of the global environmental crisis, it becomes very important for each of us to think of relevant ways in which we can ease the pressures on resources and the planet.
One tangible way for each of us to go-green is to RECYCLE some of the waste we generate, in order to create new, beautiful and useable things. Lakshya, a Faridabad based organization that makes bags, belts from jute and waste cloth, and jewellery from waste plastic, help us understand ways in which each of us can recycle items that we normally send to the dustbin.
The Lakshya team teaches the audience to make durable paper bags from old newspapers, wallets and cell-phone purses from plastic wrappers, earrings from used plastic wrappers and other items from everyday waste.

Can we not invite such professionals to MIS to have activity camps during holidays? I'm sure parents will be too happy to have their children do something creative during the holidays (Autumn break, winter break) instead of wiling away their time watching TV & playing games on the computers.
