E[co]work - for safe & inclusive e-waste management’s Post

The period leading up to this year’s Diwali has been marked by rising demand for efficient commercial electric vehicle solutions and greater efforts to control pollution. Indeed, the recent developments in the e-mobility space are promising, but above all, they show how much progress EVs have made in gaining public acceptance and popularity. In my observation, EVs have come a long way. Today, they are an integral part of public transportation and have assumed a key role in electrifying India’s logistics and last-mile delivery networks. This shift becomes more evident during the festive season when EV sales reach new highs every day. For me, this reflects a conscious step towards protecting the environment and our future generations. On that note, I want to take a moment this Diwali season to thank everyone involved in this electrification journey and make our festivities greener and more joyful. This Diwali, may our celebrations be filled with love, laughter, prosperity, and sustainability. Here’s to a cleaner and vibrant Diwali! #Diwali2024 #TerraMotors #ElectricVehicles #FestiveSeason

Are we ready to spark a change? Every year, Diwali brings joy and festivity. But it’s essential to rethink our traditions through the lens of sustainable business practices. The vibrant lights and festive spirit shouldn't come at the cost of our planet or our future. Here’s what we can do: 𝐃𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬. They pollute the air and disturb our furry friends. 𝐎𝐩𝐭 𝐄𝐜𝐨-𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐃𝐞́𝐜𝐨𝐫. They’re beautiful and biodegradable. 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐲. Keep the spirit bright without energy waste. 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐆𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠. Support small businesses. Choose handmade or recycled gifts. Together, we can create a Diwali that’s not just about brightness but also about responsibility. Let’s lead by example and inspire others. Will you make a green contribution this year?

Happy Diwali to all my connections! As we light up our homes this Diwali, it’s a good time to pause and think about what this festival means to each of us. Diwali has always been about the victory of light over darkness, hope over despair, a time to connect, wish, celebrate, and honour the values we hold close. I’m reflecting on how we can all bring these values into our celebrations. Imagine a Diwali where we share joy and positivity, illuminating our homes in ways that are gentle to our planet and our loved ones. Many families have already adopted this approach, but many more are yet to do so. We should completely move away from our habit of firecrackers that pollute and disturb. It’s not an easy change, especially for children and others who have grown up with these traditions. However, we can start small, balancing our traditions with a commitment to a healthier world. The cracker industry itself could evolve, creating livelihoods focused on eco-friendly and noise-free alternatives, or new green opportunities that sustain both families and our environment. Small steps can lead to big change. Let’s remember, too, that the small choices we make today set an example for future generations. Together, we can keep Diwali’s light shining brightly, with a touch of responsibility and care. What small step will you take to bring Diwali’s true spirit into the world? Wishing you all a joyful, meaningful, and sustainable Diwali filled with love, light, and hope. 🪔 #HappyDiwali #FestivalOfLights #CelebrateResponsibly #ProtectOurPlanet #PeopleandCulture #ConsciousCelebration #Reflecthoughts_JK

A Simple Request This Diwali: 𝐋𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐎𝐮𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 Not sure if LinkedIn is the place for this, but here goes. Today, on my way back from work, I saw a delivery partner carefully finding his way through the midnight's Diwali buzz. It hit me hard: while we’re all getting ready to celebrate, they’re out there, handling package after package—some of them 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐨 200 𝐚 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧. Imagine that! As we light fireworks and share the festive spirit, delivery partners are out there, often till late at night and back again by morning. And they face real risks—unexpected fireworks near the road, accidents waiting to happen, potential damage to their vehicles, their packages, and even their own safety and livelihood. A Simple Ask This Diwali: • Be mindful of delivery folks on the road • Avoid bursting crackers near streets and residential entrances • Keep an eye out, especially in areas with frequent deliveries • Give them a little extra room to work safely For us, it’s a moment of joy. For them, it could be the difference between a safe return home and a tough night. We might not be able to change their Diwali completely, but with a little thoughtfulness, we can help make it a safer one. Let’s keep it kind and responsible this Diwali. Happy Diwali 2024! #SafeDiwali #DeliveryPartnerSafety #ThoughtfulCelebration #CommunityCare

Dear Friends and Family, Wishing you all a joyous and prosperous Diwali! May this festival of lights fill your homes with happiness and your hearts with joy. As we celebrate, let’s also make a conscious effort to protect our beautiful planet. Here are a few ways to have an eco-friendly Diwali: 1. Use Eco-Friendly Diyas and Decorations: Opt for clay lamps and natural decorations instead of plastic ones. 2. Avoid Firecrackers: Instead of firecrackers, use sparklers or enjoy a beautiful light show. 3. Reduce Waste: Be mindful of waste, use reusable or recyclable materials wherever possible. 4. Conserve Energy: Use LED lights to decorate your homes, as they consume less electricity. 5. Plant a Tree: Celebrate by planting a tree, symbolizing new beginnings and growth. Let’s make this Diwali not only bright but also green. Together, we can celebrate responsibly and ensure that our future generations can enjoy the beauty of this festival. Happy Diwali to you and your loved ones!

Here’s to creating impact as efficiently as we use #energy - maximizing every resource to spark lasting change. The true meaning of Diwali isn’t limited to a few days of light and celebration; it’s a reminder to carry that light forward throughout the year, making each effort last. Too often, we see change burn bright for a moment and then fade, focused on short-term wins. But real #impact unfolds over time. Like my momma always says, “Waste not, want not”—it’s about using what we have wisely, ensuring that our actions bring sustainable change that shines 24/7. #SustainImpactNavigator #ImpactEfficiency #Diwali2024 #LastingChange

Diwali is a time of joy, but it can also be a time of impact. What if every diya we light could also brighten someone else's life? This festival supports the livelihoods of countless families, from artisans making earthen lamps to farmers growing marigold flowers. Buying local is about making conscious choices, and it is not that difficult. For instance, many houses around us are covered with plastic marigold flowers that look real. If only those were real marigold flowers, it could change the lives of millions of people whose livelihoods depend on such festivals. These small decisions create a positive ripple effect that strengthens our entire economy. Let’s make this Diwali about real impact. By choosing local, we light up lives and create prosperity that shines far beyond our homes. That’s the true spirit of celebration- uplifting our community while we celebrate with our loved ones.
