Did you know??
- Pollution claims around 630,000 lives every year in India, affecting many more with chronic diseases.
- WHO named India as one of the world’s most polluted countries (with 13 out of its list of ’20 most polluted cities’ being in India)
- Pollution costs our country US$80 billion a year.
- The recent dengue outbreak is being attributed to our country’s improper waste management.
Environmentalists believe that the current situation of India’s waste management will invariably lead to a crisis if no serious measure is taken soon enough.
At an individual level, we can start by reducing the amount of waste we send to landfills (which is a source of air and water pollution).
One-third of total waste sent to landfills is organic and compostable.
This can help cut down one-third of the entire city’s waste sent to landfills, in turn lowering pollution resulting from it.
Composting is an effective way to help us reuse one third of our total generated household waste. This nutrient-rich compost serves as a fertilizer to improve the overall health of our yard soil and plants.
Many of us are not acquainted with the concept of composting, and questions that often pop up are:
- What exactly can I compost?
- How do I compost easily?
- How effective is it?
And so on…
