Emphasizing on its 'Heirok-Wangjing River Rejuvenation Campaign' which has been taken up to keep Heirok Wangjing river clean, Eco-Network Heirok has been working earnestly towards the cause along with the support from local clubs such as HDC, YDO, DLC, EBC and meira paibis.

As a part of the campaign, the organization started the initiative of collecting household wastes such as used plastics so as to recycle it and put it to effective use thereby preventing it from being dumped into rivers.

In continuation of the above initiative, Eco-Network Heirok handed over collected used plastic bottles to Ashok Traders located at Tentha Marongban for recycling purposes.

In view of the above, it stressed on the multiple benefits of recycling such as generation of employment and deriving monetary gains out of it.

Highlighting the importance of throwing garbage at appropriate places to prevent environment pollution, the environmental body appealed to the authorities concerned to organise awareness programmes in different localities across the State to sensitize the masses to use environmental friendly products instead of plastics and alike and to inculcate the habit of throwing waste at appropriate places.
