A few days ago I came back home after dropping my son to school, only to find the garage way blocked by the trash truck. With no other better job to do, I started observing the person in the trash truck. He was segregating the waste with bare hands. After a few moments of observing him, a few things occurred to me which I would want to share here on this platform. India is still taking baby steps when it comes to "Waste segregation at Source". I see a lot of posts on LinkedIn talk about having a "better workplace". Working in the trash truck is no dream job, and no one's dream job. While there are people who're ready to take up the job as a means to income, it doesn't have to be so bad. We cannot do that to our fellow human beings. Let's segregate waste at source, so that he and people like him do not have to segregate the waste that we generated with bare hands. The governments can chip in and do their bit when it comes to regulations and policies, but it's a long way to get there, let's do our bit. #sustainability #wastemanagement Government of Telangana GHMC

In many villages across India, open waste dumping has become a critical issue, posing severe threats to the environment and human health. This unchecked disposal of waste contaminates soil, pollutes water sources, and releases harmful gases into the air, contributing to the degradation of our natural resources. The repercussions of this practice extend beyond environmental damage. Soil contamination affects agricultural productivity, water pollution endangers drinking supplies, and air pollution leads to respiratory and other health issues among the local population. Some solutions could be implementing proper waste segregation at source, recycling systems, and community awareness initiatives; we can mitigate these adverse effects and protect both the environment and human health. Organisations like Innovate4India , Biofics Private Limited , Hulladek Recycling are at forefront of providing innovative solutions to tackle these grave issues. Together we can! #communityengagement #Swachhgrameen #sustainableliving #health #envrionmentalimpact Swachh Survekshan | Swachh Bharat Mission | MyGov India

According to Niti Aayog, India produces 650 million tonnes of crop residue each year. A lot of it is burnt leading to air pollution, soil degradation, release of greenhouse gases and loss of biodiversity. These pantry utilities incorporate the crop residue and help reduce the carbon footprint by 40%. In addition, they are reusable, sturdy, durable, unbreakable and microwave safe. The entire production of these products is fully traceable from raw material procurement from farmers in Karnataka to the final product in the consumer's hands.

🌿 Source Segregation: The Simple Act That Makes a Huge Difference 🌿 Namaste, everyone! In our beautiful India, we have a rich culture that values cleanliness and respect for our surroundings. But isn't it ironic that some of us, despite being well-educated, hesitate to touch waste after taking a bath? Yet, we are the ones who create waste every single day! 🤔 Let's talk about source segregation—a simple yet powerful practice where we separate our waste into different categories right at the source, our homes. Here's why it’s crucial: 1. Keeps Our Environment Clean: When we segregate waste, it becomes easier to recycle and dispose of it properly. This means fewer landfills and a cleaner environment. 🌏 2. Saves Resources: Segregated waste can be recycled into new products, saving precious natural resources. For example, segregating plastics, paper, and glass helps in their effective recycling. ♻️ 3. Prevents Health Hazards: Mixed waste can lead to harmful chemical reactions and the spread of diseases. By segregating waste, we protect our health and the health of those around us. 💪 4. Supports Waste Workers: When we separate waste, it makes the job of waste workers safer and easier. These unsung heroes work tirelessly to keep our cities clean, and we owe it to them to make their work conditions better. 🙌 5. Creates Value: Segregated waste is not just garbage; it’s a resource. Properly segregated waste can be upcycled or turned into compost, which is valuable for our agriculture. 🌱 So, the next time you think twice about touching waste, remember—you are the one who created it! Let’s show our greatness by being responsible and practicing source segregation. It's time to take a small step that makes a big impact. Start segregating your waste today and be a true hero for our environment and community. 🏆 #sourcesegregation #wastemanagement #cleanindia #sustainableliving #greenindia #environmentalresponsibility #swachhbharat #recycling #wastesegregation #ecowrap #meradeshzerowaste #earth #children #future #leaders #futureleaders Remember, the change begins with you and us.

Driving back from my Mukteshwar site, I witnessed a disheartening sight—fields engulfed in subtle but relentless flames. Despite rising awareness about the hazardous effects of stubble burning on air quality, the practice continues unchecked. With AQI levels reaching alarming highs, breathing has become a daily struggle for millions, particularly in northern India. Stubble burning isn't just a local problem; it affects global health and accelerates climate change. While solutions like sustainable farming practices and machinery subsidies exist, their adoption remains slow. We must amplify our efforts to educate, innovate, and legislate for a cleaner future. It’s time to shift from apathy to action—for the sake of our environment and future generations. #ClimateAction #AQI #SustainableFarming

Environmentally conscious in Thought! Sustainable in Action! This is a viewpoint that can undoubtedly assist individuals, organisations, and ecosystems in transitioning and progressing towards truly eco-friendly methodologies, solutions, and outcomes. What I am advocating for is not just a shift in perspective but a comprehensive overhaul of culture, where ESG-aligned objectives and planet-friendly decision-making play a crucial role in empowering and sustaining change that truly has an impact. Therefore, instead of adopting a "dispose-off" mindset, we should consider recycling, repurposing, and reusing. Additionally, when scaling up, we should allocate resources more wisely rather than pursue unnecessary growth. We have both the technology and the regulatory climate required to truly nurture and support a more sensible and resilient canvas of growth, whatever the level, from the individual to the organisational. All we need now is the will to embrace it. So on this World Environment Day, instead of narrowing our focus, why not start thinking a bit more broadly and lend our growth journeys a touch of transformative circularity at the individual and business levels? I am striving to do the same for the metal landscape through Runaya . Creating a truly green alternative in the aluminium space by processing 100% of the dross received. And I believe that one can definitely replicate this, for their organization, sector and even at the Individual level. All it really needs is just a beginning—a start towards something truly better! #WorldEnvironmentDay #BuildFuturePositive #Runaya
