• The workshop takeaway:

• The use of single-use plastic should be banned
• We should use less plastic products as possible.
• It is preferable to use metal water bottles, metal lunch boxes, and jute bags instead of plastic ones.
• We should try and encourage more people to reduce the use of plastic in our day-to-day life.
• More than 700 000 people die by suicide every year. Furthermore, for each suicide, there are more than 20 suicide attempts.
• Suicides and suicide attempts have a ripple effect that impacts families, friends, colleagues, communities, and societies.
• Suicides are preventable.

Much can be done to prevent suicide at the individual, community, and national levels.
