“Plastic is a harmful substance that is killing our planet and is working its way into our bodies. We have pushed this problem away for too long and it is time to deal with it.”
Helping Ninjas is helping Sapna to achieve her goal to reduce waste in the community of Zionsville.
“If we help the planet and future generations now, our Earth can be saved.”
Sapna Srinivasan, Eigth-Grade, Zionsville, Indiana
Sapna’s Community Action Plan to reduce plastic waste and combat plastic pollution includes removal of plastic utensils and plastic straws, and then embark on a implementing plastic waste reduction, as well as contacting businesses in the community asking for support and to make the switch to more eco-friendly items. Sapna also hopes to help introduce composting programs in local schools.
Helping Ninjas is supporting efforts and helping to accelerate opportunities for Sapna to create change.
Sapna and the Helping Ninjas hopes her project to reduce waste will spark an initiative in her community; she and the Helping Ninjas are seeking other youth to get involved. Please contact us if you would like to help!
Help Sapna reduce plastic waste by signing the petition!
“I created a petition to replace plastic utensils in Zionsville Community and local schools with an environmentally friendly option. Not only will this reduce the amount of plastic being used in the schools but it can also prevent plastic from hurting children’s bodies at a young age. This will also bring awareness to children and adults about reducing plastic in their day to day lives.”
