As we enter 2022, let us look back at the year that was - with empathy, hope and gratitude.
In the past few months, we have experienced a significant reduction in emissions and air pollution levels the world over. The nationwide lockdown to break the chain of infection has gradually resulted in Mother Nature healing herself. We can further contribute to our planet’s recovery from the enormous environmental damages that we have caused in the name of development and economic gain.
Here is what you can do! Find all those old clothes, paper and stationery at your home and get recycling.
Examples:
1. Make paper bags for your neighbourhood Kirana stores
2. Make cloth masks
3. Convert bottles and vessels into pots and develop green spaces
Post pictures of you engaging in the activity with your near and dear ones on your social media handle under the hashtag #MakingADifferenceFromHome and tag the official page of SBI Foundation (@SBIFoundation).
Get featured on our social media platforms under our volunteering from the home story and stand a chance to be one of the top 5 volunteers to receive a certificate of recognition from our Managing Director.
