On Tuesday we bought all the
materials and we were still wondering what was this all about. <br /><br />Then suddenly
our alumni Mr.Mohan came and told us that we were part of something big .We
came to know that India was supporting the idea “Plastic Free World” in (the
programmes name).India was going to make 100,000 paper bags for this and we
were all very happy to know that we were going to make one of these bags .<br /><br /> Myself, Sharath
and my friends Nikhil, Sachith, Hemanth, Hitesh, Siddanth and many others volunteered
to take initiative for this activity.We being the volunteers were taught first
how to do these paper bags so that we could teach others how to do it. <br /><br />After
our lunch break we all started to prepare the bags. While the activity was
going on, Mr. Mohan came and told us about the competition between three
classes. We were even more pumped with enthusiasm and started doing the bags
more accurately. After we finished with the big bags, Mr.Mohan came and
told us how to do smaller ones. So we started doing that and we kept on doing
not even bothering about the time. <br /><br />When we were finished we could not believe
that in our class we had made 1000 bags and we were wondering how much could be
the total. Then Mr.Mohan came and told us that we have beaten records of Schools in our locality which were also participating. All the students had
great fun and we also enjoyed a lot. We like to thank Mr.Mohan and his friends
for giving us a part in this Mega Project.<br /><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Published & Managed by Inspiration Unlimited Team.

<br />
It is a result of small, often unnoticeable incremental steps that leads to success. Looking forward to your support for all further progress of this initiative! <br />

<br />
The idea took an extension from a small activity to becoming a revolutionary project, under the leadership of the One Young World Ambassador Sujit Lalwani, who gave it a definition that it carries today which makes it stand as an upcoming global revolution. The concept is extremely simple and largely impacting, the grounds on which the OYW Ambassador always chooses to work.<br />
<br />
The sagacious planning and calculation of all the impacts this project can have is something that gives a unique touch to this project of being able to serve multiple purposes, and still be extremely simple in it’s execution.<br />
<br />
The objectives being served:<br />
1. Saving Trees: As it makes use of already printed Newspaper, it avoids making of fresh paper, and avoids cutting of trees. <b><i>“A tree not cut, is a tree planted”</i></b>. In a world like today, where usage of all resources is so high, avoiding wastage is in itself creating resource.<br />
<br />
2. It’s another name and direct support to <a href="http://www.iundia.com target="_blank">IU</a> Eco-division which wants to mitigate the use of Plastics. It’s a second name for the campaign of IU “Use less of Plastics!” <br />
<br />
3. Engaging a large human resource into a simple constructive activity, that impacts society positively, and hence brings in the brotherhood attitudes amongst people. We are sure it would end up inspiring scores of others to think on these lines.<br />
<br />
4. Encouraging and setting a new trend of using paper bags and hence serving as an inspiration for people to create taste from waste, on a large scale. A movement which involves the best blood of the world endorsing the idea, executing & promoting it.<br />
<br />
5. A greener and a better world for all.<br />
<br />
The only expectation we have from you is to directly involve first hand into this initiative of ours. For more info on understanding how to make these bags, Visit www.youtube.com/iuindiaonline and type “How to make IU Newspaper BAGs?”<br />
