Indore Launches Campaign Exchanging Saplings for Plastic Waste
The Indore Municipal Corporation launched a campaign on August 20 offering a sapling for every half kilogram of single-use plastic waste deposited at designated RRR centres. Since its start, about 755 kg of plastic has been collected and over 1,500 saplings distributed. The initiative aims to reduce single-use plastic consumption and promote tree planting and environmental conservation. Indore has led the national cleanliness survey for eight consecutive years.
