Day 4: #ChennaiCostalCleanup #NoPlasticChallengeHere we just love tea. Don't we?!:) And we need those tea strainers too. But we got the plastic ones and also the steel ones. So its clearly our choice to decide if the plastics have to exist or not, in any form! I m going zero plastic, cuz that's simply my cup of tea!:)




Day 3: #ChennaiCoastalCleanup #NoPlasticChallengeLooking for buying some prashad outside the shrine, everything is packed in some kind of plastics. ..soon came across a paati selling this cloth bag forjust Rs. 10...what more do I need? This Rs. 10 investment is going to save so many plastic bags now!




Day 3: #ChennaiCostalCleanup #NoPlasticChallengeHey Guys! Look at my cool & a brand new zero plastic razor!:) No more plastic razors, no more plastic based razor heads either. Found this at one of the supermarket near my place! Plastic less clean shave baby!;) LIFESTYLE.



#Day2 : Carry a small backpack with you always which helps you in avoiding so many plastic carry bags. Simple effort for a bigger problem.

#Day1 #NoPlasticChallenge #CCC#ChennaiCoastalCleanup

CHOOSE TO BE STRAW FREE

Over 500,000,000 plastic straws are produced every day and been consumed all over the world. Unfortunately, a vast majority of these straws end up in our oceans, contributing to millions of tons of trash and over 1,000,000 seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals ingesting plastic.

It’s time to say “no” to plastic straws.

Straws its an use and throw products, before using that straw think for 5 secs without using that also we can drink any kind of liquids....

moreover using a PLASTIC STRAW BETWEEN YOUR JUICE AND MOUTH IS LIKE HAVING A MEDIATOR BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR GIRLFRIEND/WIFE....

so Avoid MEDIATORS....and taste the juices and enjoy it.. (Orey gulpula juice/tender coconut kudinga)

here is my selfie....for day 1....selfie knjm kevalama dan irukum...forget about selfie..dont forget about plastic straws..........








Day 1: #ChennaiCostalCleanup #NoPlasticChallengeYEAH! No more using those plastic bottled shower gel/body wash. From now just the soap bars! A lifestyle saying NO to plastics!
