Amna’s work is about Plastic pollution that has a devastating impact on ecosystems. Statistics are alarming: 1 million birds die annually from plastic ingestion, 50% marine debris is plastic, and plastic production contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, affecting bird migration patterns. The deadly cycle of plastic pollution entraps wildlife, mainly birds, as they mistake plastic for food; it blocks digestive tracts and uses toxic plastic debris as nesting material and transfers particles to chicks.

In stark contrast, the Indus Valley, Harappa, and Mehergarh civilizations pioneered eco-friendly terracotta crafts around 7000 BCE, encouraging sustainable practices in agriculture, efficient water management, and waste reduction. These innovative techniques left a lasting legacy, influencing modern sustainable initiatives. Reviving traditional terracotta crafts not only supports local artisans but also encourages environmentally conscious living, sustainable practices, and promoting eco-friendly habits.
