Something positive and inspirational on the World Environment Day is here. 

A couple, Parmita Sarma and Mazin Mukhtar, started a school namely 'Akshar School' in Pamohi, Assam in 2016. And do you know what is the fees of this school? 25 plastic waste items per week. Amazing, isn't it?

So students segregate their household waste properly and bring 25 plastic waste items to the school every week where these plastic waste items are properly recycled. Can you imagine the multi-pronged impacts this simple innovation has?

Firstly, and obviously this helps prevent large number of plastic waste from going into the environment. Secondly, this is very very effective technique of teaching the environment science to the students. So rather than just completing the formality of environment education, schools can go for such innovative and effective ways. Thirdly, this will eliminate the monetary constraints prohibiting the parents, specially belonging poor class, from sending the children to schools. Fourthly, this will also help in inculcating the habit of waste segregation in the parents. 

Can we think of more and more of such out of the box solutions for our imminent problems?
