Students at GPS Hamalibasthi school in India organized a program to reduce plastic usage in their community. They explained to local shop owners and community members how plastic is polluting the environment and harming health. The students made paper bags as an alternative and demonstrated how to make them cheaply using discarded newspaper. Both shop owners and community members agreed to stop using plastic and switch to paper bags after being convinced by the students' presentation. As a result, plastic usage has been greatly reduced as the community now exclusively uses paper bags.
