Eco Textbook campaign
Covid-19 has changed our lifestyle in many ways and as we recover from it, we are now getting used to the new normal of doing most of the things from home, learning ways to go Ecofriendly while saving cost for you
This is where our campaign "Eco Textbook campaign" comes in.
​
How it works
We as community can help save trees using the books we have. We can save around 1,89,000 trees every year, just by reusing them. Passing on the used books to juniors or anyone else who could use and picking up used books from seniors, instead of buying new ones.
Here's how the Eco Textbooks campaign works.
