VIDEO AND POSTER MAKING COMPETITION BY CONSUMER ASSISTO

Sustainable Consumerism Campaign– It may be hard to believe that small choices you make on a daily basis, such as how you transmute to work, what you eat, how long your shower time is, or where you travel to on holidays, can actually have a significant impact on global environmental issues. In this age of constant inundation by bad news and media-led fear-mongering, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and hopeless about environmental issues, perhaps reaching a degree of deliberate indifference for the sake of self-preservation and peace of mind. But the truth is that there is a lot that each of us can do every day to help slow down and eventually stop the demise of our planet. Many of these Earth-friendly choices, with time, simply become habits that you don’t have to think about all the time, and so, you will suffer no constant anxiety or inconvenience. Living an environmentally conscious life will simply become second nature. Sustainable development has been a goal widely pursued by all nations, globally. Citizens’ consumption has an important effect on sustainability.

With this idea, Consumer Assisto has initiated a campaign to explain the importance of sustainable living and on the occasion of 24^th December which is celebrated as World Consumer Right Day, Consumer Assisto is taking this campaign forward, with the theme decided by United Nations, by organizing Video and Poster Making Competition, encouraging people from all the backgrounds to express their understanding and knowledge creatively.

ABOUT PLASTIC POLLUTION

Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues with the rapid increase in production of disposable plastic products and overwhelms the world’s ability to deal with them. Plastic pollution is most visible in developing Asian and African nations, where garbage collection systems are often inefficient or non-existent. But the developed world, especially in countries with low recycling rates, also has trouble properly collecting discarded plastics. Plastic trash has become so ubiquitous it has prompted efforts to write a global treaty negotiated by the United Nations.
