Due to its properties like plasticity, lightweight, durability, flexibility, and inexpensive to produce, has led to its widespread use. However, due to wide spread production of single-use plastic materials and slow decomposition rate of plastic in natural ecosystems lead to environmental problems. Plastic collection and recycling is largely ineffective because of the complexity of cleaning and sorting post-consumer plastics. The prime time has occurred such that it is necessary to find alternatives to reduce the usage of plastic.

We collaborated with Tribal skill development centers at Attappadi to turn donated or purchased clothes into stitched cloth bags. As part of plastic-free environment awareness, we are giving 5 stitched cloth bags each to 1500 houses, supermarkets, and grocery stores in Kochi. We are also giving creatively designed plant-able seed pens produced by differently-abled persons which will grow into a plant after its use. Through these activities, we hope to educate and empower our community to avoid the usage of single-use plastic covers and build sustainable practices.

Education is the most important tool for emancipation of a society. For the underprivileged societies, providing them with quality education and imparting necessary skills to the coming generations will be the biggest harbinger of change.  The students from backward sections of the society who are pursuing professional courses are identified and provided financial help for their educational expenses. They are supported throughout the length of the course. This will ensure that they complete the course and acquire the degree.
Viswasanthi - TATA ELXSI Shisha Scholarship are currently supporting 100 Polytechnic students from different colleges across Kerala.

&nbsp;
The Aim
Bringing sustainability into schools, achieve energy as well as carbon savings and promote a&nbsp;planet friendly behavior as second nature in coming generations.
Humble Beginnings
The project is has been developed for implementation in Govt and Govt Aided schools invarious parts of Kerala starting with Ernakulam district. The first phase of the project has been implemented in the schools, Govt. UP School Padamughal , Govt. UP School Kuttilanji , Govt. RFT VHSS Thevara, Govt. VHSS Maneed , Govt. VHSS Mathirapally Koothattukulam and Govt. VHS Odakkali in Kerala.
The Quantifiable Quotient.
Energy Audit of selected schools through Baseline Survey identified six schools with a potential&nbsp;annual carbon mitigation of 27.76 tCO2 in addition to energy savings of 0.35 lakh units&nbsp;amounting to Rs 1.55 lakh per annum.&nbsp;Fast track implementation of Phase 1 of the project included&nbsp;replacement of legacy electrical fittings and appliances with energy efficient alternatives&nbsp;such as BLDC fans and LED lights. Phase 2 involved the active utilization of a renewable andnon polluting source of energy through installation of low cost domestic Solar Power Units in theschools.
The combined immediate tangible benefit, as brought out above is motivation enough forexpanding the project further and for emulation by other responsible institutions of the state.
The Intangible Incentive.
The project being executed in schools has the bonus of enhancing awareness in young minds&nbsp;regarding such simple, cost effective methods of mitigating human induced climate change onebaby step at a time.Tailor made tool kits have also been designed alongside, to make carbon&nbsp;footprint awareness a part of one&rsquo;s routine decision making process. Home energy calculators&nbsp;designed for easy assessment of each household by the children themselves is another useful&nbsp;tool. Children themselves can be harbingers of planet friendly lifestyles in each family.&nbsp;The enthusiastic participation and acceptance we received from approximately two thousand&nbsp;students and their teachers from six schools fills us with hope; for the success of the project and&nbsp;more importantly for the future of our planet.
The Future
Further widening of the scope and reach of the project to go from an individual school levelawareness and mitigation programme to a community supported positive climate action plan. Done under the guidance of Energy Management Centre, Kerala, Project Triple S is one of our popular projects and is in the process of expanding to states outside Kerala.&nbsp;

- The campaign began on the 12th December 2022 and ended on 16th December 2022  at the campuses of Technopark and KINFRA in Trivandrum and Infopark in Kochi. 

- A total of five volunteers from ViswaSanthi Development Foundation participated in the event. 
 
- A total of 900 Kilo Gram of E-Waste were collected.

- The products collected were tablets, laptops, desktops, television cathode ray tubes, LCD television, printer, scanner, DVD, speaker, camera, charger, cables, inverter batteries, stabilizer, UPS, CDs, cassette, floppy discs, toner/cartridge, dry cells.

Recycling plastic PET bottles
Campaigns were also conducted to&nbsp;encourage community dwellers in&nbsp;internalizing behavioral changes like&nbsp;shunning the usage of plastic bottles in thelocality and utilizing the &lsquo;Reverse Vending&nbsp;machines&rsquo; that are installed in specific&nbsp;locations of the municipality with an aim to&nbsp;enable the public to dispose of plastic&nbsp;waste thoughtfully.
