Choose your topic

Four approaches to being Plastic Positive.
Claim the topic that speaks to you.

Each blog theme comes with questions to start you off. Pick a theme that best fits your perspective. We accept only one entry per person - so choose wisely.

TOPIC 01

Anti-Littering

The problem was never plastic β€” it's where it ends up.
  • Why do we litter, and what would change that behaviour?
  • What could your campus, city or generation do differently?
  • Whose responsibility is a clean India β€” and what's yours?
TOPIC 02

Waste Segregation

The five-second habit that changes everything.
  • Why does separating waste at the source matter so much?
  • What stops people from doing it β€” and how do we fix that?
  • How would you make segregation second nature for young Indians?
TOPIC 03

Rag-Picker Awareness

The invisible workforce that powers India's recycling.
  • How do waste-pickers keep our recycling economy running?
  • How can technology and respect improve their lives and productivity?
  • What would make society see them as essential, not invisible?
TOPIC 04

Positive Plastic Image

The unsung hero of modern life.
  • Where has plastic quietly improved lives β€” medicine, safety, food, mobility?
  • Why has the good story gone untold, and how do we tell it responsibly?
  • How do we balance plastic's benefits with responsible disposal?
One topic Β· 500 words
Where does the problem lie?

The Material is not Broken. Our habits are.

Plastic was designed to make all that we use durable, keep food fresh, ensure medical supplies remain sterile and safe, and make transport efficient through lightweighting. Instead, it led to an environmental crisis. Plastic itself was not the cause. Its disposal was.

Littering. Improper segregation. Broken collection systems.

To truly protect the Planet, we must

Change just One Habit.
And let Plastic be the Solution it was engineered to be.
Why participate

More than a competition β€” it's a milestone for your CV and a chance to present your perspective.
