BEFORE SLEEPING KNOW THIS…
For more than a decade, Pradeep Sangwan has walked through the Himalayas, collecting waste left behind by trekkers and pilgrims....bottles, plastic and food leftovers
But he realised something: cleaning garbage AFTER pilgrims leave only treats the symptom. So he asked a different question. WHY NOT MAKE EVERY PILGRIM PART OF THE SOLUTION?
His #CarryMeBack campaign asks KEDARNATH pilgrims to carry at least 1 KG OF WASTE BACK WITH THEM. Within 10 days, travellers had already brought back more than 1,000 kg of waste.
By the end of the season, more than 100 tonnes of waste is expected to come back from the mountains.
