Promoting better use of personal vehicles

Nidhi J. R.

In order to help reduce air pollution and increase awareness on better practices for vehicle owners, Nidhi designed, printed and distributed flyers on the issue around the BMS campus and to business owners. "A high percentage of Indians across the country use personal means of transport like cars and two wheelers that run on precious fossil fuel," Nidhi says. "I realized that everybody wants to help, but only needs somebody to direct them into taking action. The shop owners were very willing to allow the flyers and also promised to ensure that their customers would read them. They also pledged to use the public transport more."
