All About It
We at Forengers have started the "Paper Bag" initiative which includes making useful paper bags from scrap newspaper.

The paper bags will be given to local vendors to promote use of paper bags and decrease use of plastic bags.
Who should attend?
If you are conscious about climate change and actually want to make an impact, you are all welcome. Age criteria 16 - 25
Travel Not Included
Stay Not Applicable
Meals Not Included
The paper bag initiative is rather a new idea but is blooming rapidly. Paper bags made are later distributed to local flower vendors and small chemists to stop them from using plastic bags and start using paper bags.

Forengers emerged out of a simple idea to plant one sapling per week. With this philosophy, we hosted an event on social media to invite anyone who was interested and saw a good turnout. And it has grown ever since, now we host cleanliness drives along with plantation campaigns. Each sapling we plant is tagged, covered with a shed of bamboo and cloth, watered 4 times a week and tracked for growth. We ensure that every sapling survives the next monsoon season so that it can survive the later stages on its own. Moreover, the garbage we collect is disposed to composting facilities or recycling centers based on the nature of waste ensuring minimum impact. We want to shift the focus of masses from mere concern to action. A lot is being shared by people in classrooms, social media platforms, etc but we aim to provide our community a platform where they can actually make an impact.
