Garbage isn’t exactly Rocket Science but given the filth around us, one would think it is! Given that the Government struggles with Execution and Enforcement of its well thought out policies and programs, we looked to see how exactly we can get a handle on this and if it was even possible. Turns out, it is definitely possible and “We” can do a lot with what is in our control. To understand exactly what is going on, click here. Or cheat and just read the below. (And follow too!)
You and your family1. Compost! Start by taking the one week challenge. Check out the Swachagraha campaign. |

Shops/ Commercial Businesses
1. Don’t give bags readily to shoppers. Business won’t decrease even if it seems like this is causing a temporary dip. Remember its the right thing to do.
2. Put up posters that say you care for the environment and request people to bring their bags. Like Namdhari.
3. Dispose your waste responsibly. A restaurant or hotel MUST hand over their wet waste to a responsible vendor for processing.
4. Give your tetrapacks to Joy at Work to empower our women’s unit.
