Over the past 10 years, Thiruvannamalai has had many visitors, both foreign and Indian, who come for the full moon pradakshina of Arunachala as well as to visit the Ramanashramam.  Not knowing to do otherwise, many residents and visitors are using plastic packaging and discarding it along the streets and walkways.  Much waste has accumulated in and around Thiruvannamalai from other sources as well, such as clinics, and this need not be.

The general public, who are not aware of the harmful effects of pollution from plastics and medical wastes, have been infected with many diseases and general ill-health stemming from weakened immune systems.  This project will help us to make people aware of the benefits of using less plastic, and we will be organizing camps and rallies to bring awareness to the general public about what they can do to help make Thiruvannamalai a cleaner, healthier place to live.
