- 1. PPT-6 Green Earth Movement An E-Newsletter for the cause of Environment, Peace, Harmony and Justice Remember - “you and I can decide the future”
- 2. POPE FRANCIS SAYS: “protecting all creation, the beauty of the created world, as the Book of Genesis tells us and as St. Francis of Assisi showed us. It means respecting each of God’s creatures and respecting the environment in which we live.”
- 3. Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi quote on “Clean India Campaign” "Is cleaning only the responsibility of the karamcharis? Do citizens have no role in this? We have to change this mindset.“
- 4. ISSUES OF SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT JAIRAM RAMESH, ONE OF THE FORMER ENVIRONMENT MINISTER HAD SAID “If there is a Nobel prize for dirt and filth, India will win it hands down. There is no competition for that and we have to do something dramatic on municipal solid waste” Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh (courtesy: TOI, Nov. 21, 2009)
- 5. With increasing urbanization and changing life styles, Indian cities now generate 8 times more solid waste than they used to in 1947. This is due to increase in the number of urban dwellers and increase in the amount of waste generated per capita. The generation of waste per capita has increased from 1 to 1.33 % per year. Not only have quantities increased, but also the constitution of the wastes - Quantities of plastic matter are 70 times higher than in the 1960s. Throughout the country, more than 1/3rd of all Waste generated remains un cleared on the streets and what is collected is dumped in Insanitary dumpsites polluting ground water and degrading the environment.
- 6. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT – PRESENT SCENARIO •Thousands of tons of waste is generated daily •Hundreds of Crores of Tax Payers’ money is spent in transporting waste to the dumping grounds, besides increasing air pollution by the garbage carrying vehicles. •Accumulated garbage on the road side bins causes stray dog menace, floods, various decease like dengue, malaria and so on. •Unsegregated waste dumped in dumping grounds poses threat to environment contaminating ground water table and destroying the ecosystems. •Recyclable material goes waste resulting in loss of national income, besides losing thousands of tons of wet garbage which can be used to produce fertile manure. •Hundreds of acres of land is used as dumping grounds.
- 7. AS RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS OF OUR COUNTRY WHAT CAN WE DO? Encourage community participation to work towards a garbage free society by initiating waste management techniques such as ‘Zero Waste’. Our SCCs, Women’s Groups, Civic/Political Cells, Bombay Catholic Sabha units, Housing societies, schools/colleges and other institutions can play a crucial role, and make a difference!
- 9. OPTIONS BEFORE US: TRADITIONAL Total reliance on Municipality But can Municipality cope up? NO MODERN Public Private partnership i.e. by Sharing of responsibility between public, private and voluntary sectors.
- 10. ZERO GARBAGE MEANS Reducing the volume of generation of garbage by using the method of SEGREGATION OF GARBAGE AT SOURCE. Segregation at source means separating The wet and dry garbage in the kitchen Itself. two bins are kept in the kitchen for wet garbage and dry garbage separately. Which is wet and which is dry garbage? See Next…
- 11. First step to solve the garbage problem is SEGREGATION OF GARBAGE AT SOURCE, i.e. every household segregates the waste produced at their home INTO DRY AND WET. EXAMPLE DRY GARBAGE i.e. Non-organic, Recyclable, Reusable or miscellaneous Waste includes- Plastics, Metal, Coconut shell, Thermacol, foam, Rexene, Battery cells, Paper, Cloth, Rubber, Bulbs….etc WET GARBAGE i.e. Organic or Natural waste includes Vegetable waste, Food waste, Garden waste, Wood pieces, Hair/nails, Egg shells, Bones, flesh, used cotton… etc
- 12. BENEFITS OF ZERO WASTE •Valuable recyclable materials will not be wasted at dumping grounds. •Conversion of wet garbage into manure, nature’s wealth being restored. •Cleaner roads, lesser pollution •And many more…..
- 13. AWARENESS / EDUCATION As a first step awareness on Zero Garbage Project may be held through: Handouts, PowerPoint Presentation, street plays, Group meetings and so on. Key points explaining: • What is segregation of garbage at source? • Which is wet and dry garbage? • Which is Recyclable & Biodegradable garbage? • What are the benefits of segregation? • What is Composting? • How to make your society a ‘zero garbage’ society?
- 14. TRIAL SEGREGATION 1] Daily segregation at source by each Family wet and dry in two separate bins. 2] Society circular to ensure- compliance. 3] Daily monitoring by the team. 4] Review and correction of - families who fail to segregate.
- 15. COMPOSTING The wet garbage collected from all the flats of your society will be dumped in the Compost Pit. Over it spray EM solution (other solutions also available) to felicitate the speedier decomposition of this waste which ultimately converted into fertile manure. There are also NGOs and other experts who train the housing society workers/residents on the method of Composting more scientifically ( see later)
- 16. COMPOSTING AT YOUR OWN HOME It is ideal if all the residents of the society segregate their household waste and join the ‘zero garbage project’. But for some reasons if this is not possible, you can compost your daily wet waste at your own home. HOW? Take a big drum/bucket. Make a few holes at the bottom to pass out the liquid. You may keep this drum/bucket in the courtyard, balcony or terrace. Daily shift the wet garbage from your small kitchen bin to this bigger vessel. As you keep dumping the wet waste, it keeps on decomposing declining its volume due to which it will take long time to get your bucket full. Once the vessel is nearly full, use another. Keep the earlier bucket idle till its contents dries and turns into small particles. This is the fertile manure your are looking out for. This can be used for your home grown plants or housing society plants, or even can be sold!
- 17. LARGE HOUSING SOCIETIES In a large Housing societies or institutions, naturally, the generation of garbage will be much higher. In such cases, it is advisable to take the help of experts in the field.
