ECIBE Conducts Awareness Campaign on Plastic Bag Impacts at the Ballet Group

As part of its continuous outreach, ECIBE organized an awareness campaign at the Ballet Group in Sulaimani to highlight the harmful effects of plastic bags on public health and the environment. The session aimed to guide students toward becoming more responsible and environmentally conscious individuals. The activity concluded with distributing ECIBE brochures and cloth bags as practical alternatives to single-use plastics.

Why This Matters

Plastic bags are among the most common pollutants in urban areas. They contaminate soil, harm wildlife, and contribute to long-term environmental degradation. When used for food or daily items, they also expose people to harmful chemicals. Raising awareness—especially among young people—helps build future generations who understand the importance of reducing plastic waste. Encouraging alternatives like cloth bags is a simple step that makes daily life more sustainable.

Main Highlights of the Campaign

During the visit, ECIBE’s team explained the environmental dangers linked to plastic bags, including their long decomposition time and impact on natural ecosystems. The students learned how reducing plastic use can protect public spaces, water sources, and community health.

The campaign also focused on personal responsibility. Students were encouraged to adopt sustainable habits, minimize waste, and inspire others around them. ECIBE brochures provided clear information, while cloth bags offered a practical tool to support eco-friendly behavior.

Conclusion

This awareness campaign reflects ECIBE’s mission to promote sustainability through education. By engaging with young students and providing simple tools for change, ECIBE continues to contribute to a cleaner, healthier, and more environmentally responsible society.
