The EcoGroup Society in Dehradun is raising awareness about the dangers of polythene and repurposing used polythene to create eco-bricks. These bricks are being used to beautify parks across the city. Chairman Ashish Garg emphasizes the importance of segregating dry and wet waste, noting that while plastic waste can be recycled, multilayer plastic cannot. The society has conducted 135 awareness campaigns in schools, colleges, slums, and public areas. It has also used eco-bricks to build tree structures, decorations, and water ATMs in key locations like Gandhi Park, Raj Bhavan, Sahastradhara, and Mussoorie.
