PANJIM: The students of Dhempe College of Arts and Science, Miramar under the banner of “Ujwad” in association with Greenwaves Eco-Solutions Private Limited, are working to create awareness against the plastic pollution.
The students are busy designing ‘Udakasur’ (a water demon) as a part their initiative. Udakasur, which would be made up of waste materials like pet bottles, cans and other waste that is thrown around polluting the environment and ocean, will make his maiden entry during upcoming Arambol Carnival.
“We are making this Art Work which is basically a monster called as Udakasur, which tells the waste that we put in the sea comes back as in the form of monster,” said Dr P Unnikrishnan, Regional Director, Greenwaves Eco-Solutions Private Limited.
“We are talking to other businesses in Goa which are producing waste every day to collect it for shaping Udakasur. The waste is generated every day by them,” Unnikrishnan said.
Director of Greenwaves Eco-Solutions Private Limited Anil Chowdary said when they thought of making something out of waste, the first thought was of dealing with plastic.
“This year the theme is also beat plastic. We are making it out of pet bottles. We are trying to make awareness on plastic management,” he said.
