The concept of Organic Gardening in Bangalore is spreading like a wild fire and now we are a group of about 27,000+ members (globally) working towards keeping the city cleaner and greener.
To help you get started, there are two projects anyone could choose from (either or both) :
Spread awareness about waste segregation.
- Start from your home, apartment, street , locality.
- Talk about the necessity to segregate wet waste and dry waste. If possible, even the electronic waste. What happens when all of these mix together and how it would create an unhealthy environment for all, including themselves.
Spread awareness on refusing / re-using plastic covers at shops
- Always carry some plastic covers in your vanity bags /two wheeler / car / laptop bags. Remember that refusal is the best. But it is still OK to reuse the plastic covers.
- Just tell a word to the veggie vendor/grocery shop vendor/ Flower vendor not to give away plastic covers each time. Instead they encourage customers to get a bag.
- If you see a customer asking for a cover, educate them on carrying a bag.
- You never know, your attempt could change one or more people's mindset, which is a big thing.
- And remember to Practice and Preach what you say!
