Himalayan Clean-Up 2018: Volunteers in 12 hill states collected solid waste to raise awareness
The clean-up focused on plastic waste in line with the objectives of the World Environment Day on June 5, whose theme is "beat plastic pollution".
The clean-up initiative was taken by the environment conservation non-profit groups Integrated Mountain Initiatives or IMI and Zero Waste Himalayas, Sikkim branch.
"Every clean-up was conducted following a uniform guideline, through support and participation of various government and non-government organisations," environment conservation non-profit Waste Warriors, which participated in the clean-up, said in a statement.
Ecologically sensitive areas that see heavy tourist activities were specifically targeted to bring attention to the problem of rising amount of waste, and how people are seen to litter, dump and burn them, said Waste Warriors, which was founded in 2012.
