:herb: Wonderful initiative, @Rahul001! Your post beautifully connects everyday choices with environmental awareness.

:shopping_bags: Promoting paper bags is directly aligned with SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production, which encourages reducing waste and choosing sustainable alternatives.

As Local Guides, when we highlight eco-conscious practices like paper bag usage in reviews and photos on Google Maps, we not only support local businesses but also promote mindful consumer behavior. :camera_with_flash::speaking_head:

Let’s continue to contribute toward a cleaner and greener planet—one bag, one review at a time! :globe_showing_europe_africa::recycling_symbol:

Very nice post @Rahul001, making the paper bags is one of the syllabus in art education and I teach the students to make paper bags out of newspapers. Around 600 students of 6th to 8th grades learn to make these newspaper bags in the class. These bags are then used by our canteen. I am happy that I could contribute towards sustainability.
