The enthusiasts who participated in the training session could not only create cloth bags for themselves but indeed can transfer the art of making such bags to their neighbors, relatives & friends and create a rippling effect is what the session aims at.
Talking on this Sujani, one of the member of the '100 swacch women wonder group', said that 'we've assembled here to create something new and strongly reinstate 'Say no to plastic bags'. A long lasting solution for the plastic carry bag issue could be derived by using cloth bags. In spite of knowing the irreversible implications created by plastic, many of them still use for convenience.People who love the city should carry their own cloth bags. We are confident that through continued awareness we can definitely create an impact.
