VINAY GOT RID OF ONE-TIME-USE PLASTIC CUPS FROM 11 CORPORATE OFFICES

Some experiences work as triggers to spark the change we have always wanted to see. A similar incident happened with our cohort member of Aaina Dekho, Vinay. 

Vinay works at a corporate firm as a Marketing head. A corporate work culture like his with over 60 employees in the office often comes with innumerable facilities for the workforce to be at ease while working. Vinay, as he had his glass of water in the pantry, crushed the plastic disposable item and was about to throw it in the dustbin as when he noticed a pile of used glasses and reminded of the workshop of system thinking he participated in at Aaina Dekho 2.0. 

Vinay thought of doing something about it and chose to write to the head of the HR department regarding his concern of excessive use of one-time-use plastic. The executive soon responded with affirmation and notified him that all the branches of his office in Uttar Pradesh will get rid of this disposable plastic cutlery. Through his single ‘conscious’ action, Vinay could reduce a big amount of plastic waste which by the end of only a month would have piled up to around 38,400 plastic cups, otherwise.
