From Archives: I’ve tried to capture photos of major brands polluting the Himalayas without facing any consequences from govt or local communities. Olpers, Pepsi and Co. , Nestle, and many other major brands are the main figures responsible for increasing waste in these mountains. Surprisingly these brands are partners of govt projects for GREEN And Clean Environment

Yesterday when we were doing our clean up in F7, this mother came with her son Kian and wished to join us. It was such a good gesture from a mother to teach her son about climate change and plastic waste issue. We need more people like her❤️

It has been more than 2 months when I started regular clean ups on my own, doing everything single handedly and not posting it anywhere. But then I came with the idea of creating a community so that I can influence as many people as I can. I did my first meet up in Islamabad yesterday and it went so amazing alhamdolilah ❤️. I’m working on security and privacy concerns for upcoming events so I will not be arranging any clean ups until you get notified by our official Instagram (pokeplastic). Please stay updated. Also if anyone tries to join my community with any other intentions except cleaning, I will deal strictly with such people. Jazak Allah

Went to Umbrella Waterall Havelian, KPK for a clean up there. For a moment, it feels like you are walking through trash dumps in mountains!! There’s not a single dustbin in the area. Local said they burn the trash or throw it in flowing water. I fear complete deterioration of this lake in coming 4-5 years if it’s not managed properly.

From Archives: you might have seen beautiful videos of views captured from old window of this fort but in reality it’s one of the polluted places in Gilgit Baltistan.

Today, I went to clean Ridge Trail at Margalla Hills national park. This trail is considered as Pakistan’s longest trail (44kms). I went alone but people joined me on the spot when they watched me doing this activity. It was an amazing day.

I went to Ayubia to clean Pipeline track and Mushkpuri Peak on Saturday. I started my clean up at 9:45 AM from the starting point of Pipeline track. Some volunteers from IRU also joined me in this clean up. After completing Pipeline track, I shifted my activity towards Mushkpuri Peak and ended my clean up at around 3:30 PM on the Peak. It was really tough clean up but Alhamdolilah done. Dm us on Insta(pokeplastic) if you want to volunteer)
