Goodeebag Partners with Meridian School to Promote Sustainable Practices

The collaboration between Goodeebag and Meridian School signifies a significant step towards reducing plastic waste and carbon footprints. By educating students about plastic pollution and encouraging their active participation, this initiative aims to foster a sense of responsibility and environmental consciousness among the younger generation.

Meridian School, Banjara Hills, will lead the charge in innovation by introducing a distinctive initiative, wherein students will don school uniforms acquired through Goodeebag reward points. This pioneering effort will serve as a model for educational institutions globally. Students will earn rewards points proportional to the weight of materials they contribute, which can be exchanged for a myriad of other perks and benefits.

Goodeebag's contribution to this collaboration includes the direct collection of plastic and recycled materials from students' homes, eliminating the need for them to bring plastic to school premises. Additionally, Goodeebag will calculate the carbon footprint and tree-saving impact of student contributions throughout the academic year, emphasizing the school's commitment to sustainability.

The collaboration between Goodeebag and Meridian School is expected to have a significant impact on both the environment and the school community. By participating in this initiative, Meridian School, Banjara Hills, will be the first school globally contributing to a better world and inspiring other educational institutions to follow suit.

In addition to this collaboration, Goodeebag hosted the first edition of the Goodeebag Awards ceremony in Hyderabad, honoring individuals who have made noteworthy contributions to environmental sustainability. Awards categories included Best Plastic Collector, Wildlife Rescue Heroes, and Lake Guardian Award. The event was graced by esteemed guests such as JA Chowdary, IAS (Retired) & founder of Indian Startup Foundation; Jayesh Ranjan, Special Chief Secretary, IT and Industries and Commerce, Government of Telangana; Ajay Mishra, IAS (Retired) & Chairperson of Red Cross Society, Hyderabad; Mahankali Srinivas Rao, CEO, T-hub and Rumana Sinha Sehgal, Founder, Serendipity and Karmaveer Chakra awardee (Instd. by UN & iCongo).
