Paper Bag Day celebrates on July 12 for the humble brown bag that represents a greener alternative to plastic. But simply switching materials isn’t enough, what matters is reducing waste altogether.
This day teaches young people that eco-friendly isn’t just what you use, it’s how you think.
GoSharpener Activity
Students using the GoSharpener platform organized “Bag with a Message” corners where they hand-decorated paper bags with climate slogans and shared them with local vendors. Schools created a “Bag Library” where students could borrow reusable paper or cloth bags instead of buying new ones.
Every act, reusing a bag, saving a tree, choosing paper wisely, was tracked in each student’s Impact Profile and added points to their SustainabilityScore.
Why GoSharpener Is Different
While other events promote paper as a solution, GoSharpener encourages students to question all consumption. The platform builds critical thinking, helping students see the lifecycle of every product and their role in it.
GoSharpener turns school sustainability into a measurable, motivating journey through its India-first Personal Sustainability Scoring platform. Just like marks show your study performance, your SustainabilityScore shows your climate commitment.
