Morpirla, Goa | July 12, 2025: In a heartfelt celebration of World Paper Bag Day, the students of PM SHRI GHS Morpirla came together to promote a crucial environmental message — “Say No to Plastic, Yes to Paper Bags.” With rising concerns over climate change, global warming, and the devastating impact of plastic pollution, their initiative stood as a beacon of hope and action.

In a vibrant school-wide activity, students handcrafted paper bags and chanted eco-conscious slogans, calling attention to the growing need for sustainable alternatives to plastic. The activity was more than a creative workshop — it was a powerful tool of awareness and education.

Plastic waste, one of the leading contributors to environmental degradation, harms wildlife, pollutes our oceans and landscapes, and takes centuries to decompose. Recognising this, the young changemakers of PM SHRI GHS Morpirla took it upon themselves to advocate for sustainable living and environmentally responsible behavior.

The initiative was supported by teachers and staff, who joined the students in promoting the use of biodegradable alternatives. By engaging in such hands-on and purposeful activities, the school is fostering environmental consciousness from a young age.

“This is not just about making paper bags,” said one of the participating teachers. “It’s about shaping mindsets, instilling values, and making sure our students understand the real impact of everyday choices.”

The event underscored the school’s commitment to environmental education and grassroots action, showing that even small efforts at the local level can inspire meaningful change.

As the day ended, what remained wasn’t just the collection of neatly folded paper bags — but a deep and lasting impression of responsibility, awareness, and the spirit of positive action for a cleaner, greener planet.
