Ambassadors of ibis & Novotel Bengaluru Techpark contribute to Beat Plastic Pollution campaign

Bangalore, June 6, 2018: 40 volunteers from the team of ibis & Novotel Bengaluru Techpark contributed to the theme of this year’s World Environment Day, ‘Beat Plastic Pollution’ campaign, an initiative by the United Nations. The hotel ambassadors collected all kinds of plastic garbage in the vicinity of the hotel and distributed flyers to the general public to create awareness.

Beat Plastic Pollution campaign urges governments, industry, communities, and individuals to come together and explore sustainable alternatives and urgently reduce the production and excessive use of single-use plastic polluting our oceans, damaging marine life and threatening human health. In recent years, millions of people have taken part in thousands of registered activities worldwide.

World Environment Day is the UN’s most important day for encouraging worldwide awareness and action for the protection of our environment. Each World Environment Day is organized around a theme that focuses attention on a particularly pressing environmental concern. Every World Environment Day has a different global host country, where the official celebrations take place. The focus on the host country helps to highlight the environmental challenges it faces and supports the effort to address them. This year’s host in India.
