A 21-day challenge in Mylapore
Over the next three to four weeks, Mylapore residents have something to busy themselves with.
EcoKonnectors Trust and Bisleri Bottles For Change are launching what they call 'Recycle to Revive Mylai — 21 Day Challenge'.
Set to kick off this World Environment Day (June 5, 2025), the Challenge seeks to promote good waste-management behaviours among apartments and residents' grouops of the locality. If they practised segregation and recycling for 21 days, the habit with stay with them — that is the rationale behind the Challenge.
According to a press release, participants have to segregate waste and keep aside plastics (any type of bottles, covers and wrappers among others). Bisleri Bottles for Change will provide participating apartments with a one tonne bag with standie. The plastic items should be cleaned and stored at their premises in the bag provided, the release says
The plastic collection drive will be organised on the 10th and 21st day of the Challenge by Bisleri Bottles for Change.
Twenty-one days of this practice will bring about a behavioural change, which includes segregating waste and sending recylacble waste to the collection drives, and this environment friendly habit will stay with them forever.
Together we can save tons of plastics ending into the landfills and sent for recycling.
Registration closes on June 3, 2025. For details, call 9003016783; or visit www.ecokonnectors.com

While the land restoration project was initially launched in 2023, a detailed action plan for the project was launched recently. The project, pegged at `16,053 crore, aims to create a buffer zone of 5 km around the mountain range, covering 6.45 million hectares. Ministry sources said the project would also contribute in meeting India's key climate goals of creating an additional carbon sink of 2.5 to 3 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent through improving tree and forest cover. India has also committed to restoring 26 million hectares of degraded land by 2030. Extending from southwest Gujarat in Champaner to northeast Delhi and Haryana, the 700-km long Aravalli mountain range acts as a natural barrier against incursion of sand and dust from the Thar desert. It supports rivers such as Luni, Banas, Sabarmati among others, as well as keystone wildlife such as tiger, bears, wolves and leopards. However, the range is facing widespread degradation due to deforestation, mining, urbanisation, agriculture practices and development.
