Say No to plastic
To encourage a safe method for disposing plastic waste, RC Nasik West, RID 3030, has taken up a J-Hook project. These hooks are distributed to schoolchildren, who are asked to collect plastic waste at home or on the streets using these hooks and give it to the Nashik Municipal Corporation, which in turn will adopt suitable and safe disposal methods.
