Participants took part in an awareness session covering the 5R concept, waste management, sustainable living, and eco-friendly alternatives. Interactive activities including Plastic Hunt, Find the Alternative, a quiz, Action Plan Cards, and a Reflection Wall helped participants engage with the topic in a practical way.
