Upcycle It

BMS College of Engineering, Basavanagudi

Description

The main objective is to promote sustainable practices and reduce plastic waste.The event "Upcycle It" provided a creative solution for repurposing old T-shirts into trendy bags. Participants were encouraged to bring along a pair of T-shirts and scissors to engage in this eco-friendly activity. Volunteers were asked to bring a pair of old t-shirts and scissors. During the event, they creatively transformed these t-shirts into trendy bags without using needles and thread. The process involved cutting off the neck and sleeves, and then tying the bottom part to create a functional bag. Participants thoroughly enjoyed this hands-on activity. The atmosphere was vibrant and filled with enthusiasm as volunteers eagerly embarked on their upcycling journey. They revealed the opportunity to give a new life to their old garments while actively contributing to environmental conservation. The impact extended beyond the confines of the event. Participants pledged to distribute these upcycled bags to street shopkeepers, effectively spreading awareness about sustainability within the community
