Rotary 3131 - Public Image Avenue Details

07-07-2024 - 28-07-2024

The Rotary Club of Panvel Mahanagar, under the leadership of Immediate Past President and Environment Director Sudhir Chakole, has initiated a significant project to distribute cloth bags throughout the community. This initiative aims to reduce plastic waste by providing a sustainable alternative to plastic bags, targeting diverse groups such as street vendors, housing societies, post offices, vegetable markets, and schools. This project aligns with Rotary's Environment Avenue, reflecting the club’s dedication to environmental sustainability and community engagement. Cloth bags offer numerous advantages over plastic and paper bags, being cost-effective, durable, and capable of carrying heavier weights. They are also more resistant to heat, making them a practical and eco-friendly choice for daily use. The initiative is sponsored by Rotarian Ashish Atre in memory of his father, the late Shri Prakash Atre, and Balkrishna Khedwal in memory of his father, the late Shri Devkinandan Khedwal. Their sponsorship has been crucial in bringing this project to life, underscoring the Rotary Club's commitment to honoring legacies while fostering environmental change. The project saw enthusiastic participation from prominent club members, including President Arun Khedwal, Vice President Puransingh Jeetsingh Mehra, Secretary Mukund Chaudhari, Treasurer Snehal Vidyadhar Pendse, and First Lady Rotarian Shweta Khedwal. Members of the Interact Club and the Rotary Community Corps Empowered Women also actively participated, highlighting the club’s focus on engaging younger generations and empowering women. As part of the Rotary Club of Panvel Mahanagar's ongoing commitment to sustainability, this initiative is one of many environmental projects planned for the year, aiming to promote environmental awareness and inspire the community to adopt sustainable practices.
