Agartala, May 05: As the world grapples with escalating temperatures and environmental degradation, the Rotary Club of Agartala City has launched a commendable initiative to combat the adverse effects of climate change and foster sustainable living practices.

Under the strategic use of Reduce, Re-use, Recycle process, the club has begun distributing paper packets to local markets, roadside vendors, and grocery shops. These packets, crafted from recycled newspapers and cartons, are not only a testament to the club's commitment to environmental conservation but also a step towards empowering women. In collaboration with a women's self-help group comprising members from below poverty line families, the initiative also serves as a platform for women empowerment.

The club's efforts extend beyond the distribution of paper packets. The club have also taken initiative to disseminate posters throughout the city to raise awareness about the detrimental impact of plastic usage on our planet. These posters serve as a visual reminder of the importance of preserving our environment for future generations.
