Bring Your Own Bag

The BYOB movement is a call to action for individuals to take responsibility for the plastic waste they generate in their daily lives. The initiative aims to build greater awareness around the harmful effects of single-use plastic on the environment, including polypropylene bags that are often mistaken as cloth bags. The initiative encourages the use of reusable bags and provided information to help people make

informed choices about the products they use. The goal is to inspire a shift towards a more sustainable lifestyle, where each person takes an active role in protecting the planet. The campaign challenges the public tendency to delegate responsibility for environmental action to others and instead empowers individuals to be part of the solution. The movement is thus a call to all of us to be more mindful of our actions and to take responsibility for the choices we make. Every small step we take towards reducing our plastic waste can contribute to a cleaner, greener future for all.

What Happens on Raahgiri Day

The BYOB initiative goes beyond just promoting environmental-friendly bags and stimulated individuals to take a more holistic approach to reduce their environmental impact. It also encourages people to carry their own water bottles and avoid the use of single-use plastic water bottles. We are committed to bringing awareness to this initiative through our actions and reinforcing the critical nature of reducing plastic waste. For example, every single cloth or jute bag can effectively

prevent the dumping of 200 throw-away plastic bags. iamgurgaon believes that every small change can make a big difference, and by refusing or reusing, reducing, and recycling, we can all play a part in creating a cleaner and greener future.

Additionally, we are also driving people to reduce their use of plastic in the form of straws, food containers and utensils. We also encourage them to recycle whatever plastic they do use, and to properly dispose of it, thus keeping our environment cleaner. Our goal is not only to raise awareness about the negative effects of plastic waste on the environment but also to empower individuals to make conscious choices in their everyday lives.
