Plastic Garbage takes decades or even hundreds of years to disintegrate, putting water sources and water quality in danger. Even Kashmir, what we call closest to real-world heaven is not safe. A new study has confirmed the presence of microplastic contaminants in the Jhelum River, locally known as Vyeth, in Jammu and Kashmir. Microplastics detected in these streams make their way into our drinking water and the seafood. To tackle this, we researched and identified key factors due to which plastic ends up in oceans and proposed the solution “CleanUp Connect”, a user-driven mobile app tackling plastic waste by enabling users to report Informal Dumping Sites and pollution incidents with geotagged photos for Clean Up teams to take action.
