5. Focus for the year 2012-2013
• Maintain segregation, make it better! Make
sure there are appropriate signs on all bins
across the school campus.
• Bring e-Waste and Tetra Pak cartons from
home and put it in the bins at school.
• Spread the message on waste
management at home and to friends by
being an example yourself.
• Spread this attitude across the city by not
littering the streets. Can you hold onto
your waste in your hand / bag until you find
the right bin to put it in?
6. Focus for the year 2012-2013
• Start segregation at home.
• Contact Saahas for managing waste in
apartments, offices
