Hamri Bahini aims to ban the use of plastic bags by 2015

"Hamri Bahini-The Green Angels" is a Green Social Enterprise run by Himalayan Climate Initiative. It  creates, provides, and influences others to provide respectable jobs to disadvantaged young women while addressing urban environmental problems. But now hamri Bahini has been aiming to ban the use of plastic bags in Nepal by creating alternatives for plastic bags i.e Cotton bags.

                It may seem like a small campaign but, now it have become massive. Many volunteers and celebrities have supported this campaign.
