Shimla, April 14: In a commendable step towards environmental conservation and civic responsibility, the Lions Club Shimla, under District 321A2, carried out an impactful awareness drive to curb plastic pollution in the city.
Staying true to its motto, “We Serve,” the club has been consistently working for the civic, cultural, and social upliftment of society, while addressing the urgent need to reduce mindless exploitation of natural resources.
As part of its ongoing efforts to promote environmental awareness and sustainable alternatives, the club distributed 150 eco-friendly jute bags at the bus stand near IGMC.
The initiative aims to encourage locals and tourists alike to avoid littering and instead collect waste such as wrappers and other disposables in these reusable bags, for proper disposal in designated dustbins.
Lions Club President Man Mohan Verma emphasized that the multi-pronged campaign focuses not just on distribution but also on educating the public about the harmful impact of plastic waste.
He highlighted that jute bags offer a sustainable solution, promoting cleaner surroundings and reducing the reliance on plastic.
The event saw active participation from several club members, including Project Chairperson Lion Ravi Sood, Secretary Lion M.K. Sharma, Lion Sufal Sood, Lion D.K. Chauhan, Lion J.P. Sharma, Lion Sunil Sood, Lion Dr. Rajesh Chanana, and others.
The team engaged with passersby, spreading the message of “No to Plastic” and encouraging the use of reusable alternatives to help maintain Shimla’s natural beauty.
The Lions Club continues to lead by example, integrating community participation with environmental responsibility to build a cleaner, greener future for Shimla.
