I am part of these groups from quite sometime and whatever lifestyle changes I have made, is only because of these groups :
(Click on group names headings below, to go to the group directly.)
Believe me it is a very pleasant, therapeutic experience, one has to experience seeing the first veggies you grow at your own home :)
Compost is decomposing of organic waste. Even though you have a garden or not, kitchen leftovers are rich source of nutrients, which is wasted at landfills. Learn to make compost at home and manage your own kitchen waste!
On an average, a women uses 12,000+ pads in her lifetime. Just multiply that by the number of women in the world and we would probably endup with a whole new planet!
Switch to Menstrual Cups or Cloth Pads, not only to save the planet, but also your health (chemicals in the pads are harmful and could cause cancer) and pocket (where is Rs.760 per cup, reusable safely for 2 years and where is Rs.310 for a pack of 30?). You will get all the info required in this group.

Organic Terrace Gardening
We are a group of 25,000+ like-minded people who swear by Organic Methods of growing food. We believe in growing food, instead of lawns!
The importance of eating organic is not recognized. Organic is expensive in market and we do not even know if they are REALLY organic as claimed. So the better option is to START GROWING it yourself to be sure!Believe me it is a very pleasant, therapeutic experience, one has to experience seeing the first veggies you grow at your own home :)
Home Compost
Compost is decomposing of organic waste. Even though you have a garden or not, kitchen leftovers are rich source of nutrients, which is wasted at landfills. Learn to make compost at home and manage your own kitchen waste!
Waste Segregation and Recycling
They teach you ABC's of segregating waste and the various ways we can reuse and recycle the stuffs we have at home!
The general mindset is that segregating waste is not OUR responsibility, it is the government's. It is high time we stop blaming someone else for our own waste we generate. Switch to the new mindset, you will see things very differently and your conscious will not allow you to throw that banana peel again in the same dustbin as you used to all these years!
Sustainable Menstruation India
Switch to Menstrual Cups or Cloth Pads, not only to save the planet, but also your health (chemicals in the pads are harmful and could cause cancer) and pocket (where is Rs.760 per cup, reusable safely for 2 years and where is Rs.310 for a pack of 30?). You will get all the info required in this group.
Cloth Diapering India
Each diaper takes about 500 years to decompose! We hardly realize what we are doing to our plant and eventually us! Switch to Cloth Diapers. They are not just traditional fuzzy diapers made of cloth. They are eco friendlier than normal diapers in the market.

Let's Heal The Soil
Overall, Let us heal the soil - that should become an inbuilt activity in day to day life. The least we could do is to consciously refuse plastic covers an carry our own cloth bags.
As a consumer, we do not realize our role in sustainability options. Switch to a healthier, eco friendly option for our good, for the better future!
Spread the word among your colleagues, relatives, friends and do your part in inspiring others :) It is the least we could give back to Mother Nature.
