It hasn't been an easy two weeks for the two homes from Juhu and Versova who took on the #plasticfreewithsundaymidday challenge on April 1. As reported last week, finding economically viable and environment-friendly alternatives for plastic bags to store meat, and bin liners proved difficult. However, while the Creados of Juhu - Sandra, 62, Colin, 71 and Reagan, 37 - found an alternative in steel boxes, Versova residents Pooja Sinha Roy, 32, and Amrutha Jalihal, 24, have turned to Urjaa Foundation to convert their plastic into poly-fuel.
