The Process: From Old Sarees to Eco-Friendly Bags The core of the Grandma’s Green Weave Campaign lies in the Saree Collection Drive. Manya Harsha and her team of young volunteers reach out to residential communities, requesting residents to donate old sarees and bedspreads that would otherwise be thrown away. Over time, the campaign has collected over 1,400 sarees and 300 bedspreads, which have been transformed into 19,000+ reusable bags. These bags are distributed to street vendors and small shopkeepers in markets like JP Nagar, Jayanagar, and other parts of Bengaluru. The stitching is done by local tailors, creating a circular ecosystem of sustainability, community involvement, and economic support.
