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.
