When I stepped into one of New Delhi’s first and only zero waste colonies, I was welcomed by a community that has been living and breathing sustainability for the last 5 years. United in their shared purpose, this close-knit neighbourhood of 250 households came together, committed to create change. Reminding us that even with the smallest of actions, we can make a world of a difference. Here, every action is a step towards a greener tomorrow: * Sorting green waste with intention, and transforming it into Earth-enriching black gold. * Turning plastic trash into renewed, repurposed, reusable treasure. * Taking individual responsibility and working towards a common goal as a community. This collaborative effort has helped save a heaping 6 lakh kgs of waste from filling more of our landfills from becoming ever-mounting dumping grounds. It goes to show that we can work through every maze, create solutions for every problem, and surpass every challenge as long as we have hope and the will to walk the path of individual impact, especially if a woman is leading the way.

If this became a global mandate like the Covid protocol, every neighborhood around the world will do it. All that the government has to do is to give advance 3-month notice and ban manufacturing of 'garbage' in the household by mixing up different leftovers. They become waste only when they are mixed up. If they are collected separately they become part of a valuable 'materials library'.

Love this, so inspiring to see communities come together for the greater good. It also shows how it can work on smaller scale.

Thank you 🌏 Shreya Ghodawat Ⓥ for highlighting our community's efforts in your post. It's great to see our colony recognized. We are grateful for your acknowledgment of our commitment to sustainability and the positive impact we've made in reducing waste and preserving our environment. Such kind words from you mean a lot to us and serve as encouragement to continue our sustainability efforts. Additionally, we want to express our appreciation for the beautifully made video that captured our efforts so eloquently. It's important to note that while we may be on track to becoming Delhi's first zero waste colony, we are not the only zero waste colony. There are communities like ours working tirelessly towards sustainability, and we are inspired by their efforts as well. Thank you for shedding light on the importance of individual responsibility and collective action in creating a greener future. Your advocacy is truly inspiring, and we're honored.
Best waste management really inspirational
