Licypriya attempts Guinness World Record Source: The Sangai Express
New Delhi, August 26 2022: 10 years old environmental activist Licypriya Kangujam is hoping to enter the Guinness World Record Book after spelling out a sentence with 6,056 plastic bottles. It took 9.02 minutes to arrange them into the line "Save our Planet and our Future" with the support of students at Ryan International School, Noida Exten- sion and her little sister Irina Kangujam, said a statement issued by Licypriya. Guinness World Records has yet to verify the total, but said the current record is 3,325 bottles, achieved in Berkshire, UK by St Edward Prep School, in February 2022.The record is measured on the total number of water bottles. Licypriya and her sister have collected the bottles from hotels, restaurants and people through her Plastic Money Shop. Plastic Money Shop is an initiative of her where people can take free 2 kg of rice or a sapling or any school stationery items by bringing 1 kg of single used plastic waste. And the collected waste is used to make school benches, house roof sheets, road tiles, etc. The mission is to eliminate single used plastic waste from the planet. The slogan was suggested by Licypriya Kangujam and was then voted on by the whole school. Principal Seema Kasumra said that Licypriya and other students were keen to make a "statement" about climate change and the plastic pollution. Licypriya said, "Guinness World Record attempt is just an initiative to send a strong message on the global plastic pollution crisis. It's not about just breaking a world record; we're fighting one of the biggest problems of our time: the climate change and the plastic pollution crisis" . "I am representing the voice of millions of children and millions of countless voiceless animals. I trust our little efforts can help reduce the plastic pollution crisis in my country. I am a child who strongly believes that children can lead the change. This Guinness World Record attempt might not be possible without the love, support and blessings of our Founder and Managing Director Madam Grace Pinto", she added. "We must reduce our plastic consumption at home. Reducing plastic consumption will reduce plastic pollution. This is the time to wake up. This is the time to open our eyes. Our little things can make a huge difference. We are unstoppable and another world is possible", Licypriya said. * This news is as published by respected news daily at Imphal, whose name is duly marked as 'Source'.
