With the help of an NGO, tribal residents of Aarey Milk Colony have bagged an eco-friendly opportunity to make the most of the plastic ban - by making and selling paper bags. An NGO named 'I Care for Tomorrow' — which has trained them to make the bags — collects newspapers from housing societies, gives it to the Aarey residents, and once the bags are made, redistributes them in grocery stores in areas the housing societies are located in.
