The document discusses project green diamond, which aims to reduce garbage waste from DD that is currently dumped everyday. It notes that 2000kg of garbage is dumped daily from DD alone. It highlights the negative impacts of dumping and burning garbage, such as groundwater contamination, toxic fume inhalation, and non-degradable items persisting in the environment forever. The project promotes segregating garbage into kitchen waste, recyclables, and toxic waste using 3 separate bags in order to facilitate recycling, reuse, and reduce pollution. It aims to make the area around DD airport road a zero waste zone.
