They encouraged the audience to embrace the principles of REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE in their daily lives and adopt sustainable practices for environmental protection.
A pledge-taking ceremony was held, where individuals committed to reducing their reliance on plastic bags and promoting responsible waste management.
