This Tea Seller Saved 15,000 Kg Of Plastic Waste

When tourists visiting Rajasthan’s Jawai region spoke about the growing plastic waste polluting its landscapes, Kana Ram Mewara couldn’t ignore it. So the tea seller from Bisalpur started collecting plastic himself and soon came up with a simple idea: people could exchange plastic waste for essentials like sugar, stationery, and groceries. Despite criticism and limited resources, he kept going. What began at a small chai stall has now grown into a 15-village movement that has helped collect over 15,000 kilograms of plastic waste and transform it into benches, dustbins, and tree guards.
