Waste is Wealth


THE RICH MAN'S GARBAGE IS ALSO RICH. SOUNDS FUNNY. FACT. SCORES OF RAG PICKERS LOSE THEIR LIVES FIGHTING FOR THE 'RICH GARBAGE' GENERATED FROM HIGH END HOTELS/LOCALITIES. THE FIGHT INTENSIFIES ON THE EVE OF NEW YEAR OR DIWALI AS THE DANCING DRUNKEN YOUTH MAY LOSE A GRAM OF GOLD OR SILVER. WHEREAS THE MIDDLE CLASS NEIGHBOURHOOD FAMILIES WOULD BE SAVING even THE POLYTHENE FOR SELLING THEM LATER.

 REDUCE, REUSE AND RECYCLE.

There must be a Waste Management Strategy set out by the Government

The Strategy’s two goals provide direction to local government, businesses (including the waste industry), and communities on where to focus their efforts in order to deliver environmental, social and economic benefits to all.  The goals are:
·         Reducing the harmful effects of waste
·         Improving the efficiency of resource use.
The Strategy’s flexible approach will ensure waste management and minimization activities are appropriate for local situations.
Local governments/bodies must play a lead role in waste management and minimization
Introduce Waste Disposal Levy and generate funds for waste minimization initiatives.

Educate the people in handling e-waste, glass/regular non bio-degradable waste and hospital waste
Reward the associations that perform better
Plan your new colonies as e-colonies
