Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Education Necessary : Reward Essential !



Reported in Hindustan Times ( 16 Aug ) : 


“ Managing your waste well ?  Civic body set to reward you “



PROBLEM

BMC data shows that only 48 % of the housing societies in the city segregate waste daily , while around 7993 metric tonnes of unprocessed waste is dumped at the Mulund , Deonar and Kanjurmarg grounds



BMC’s  EDUCATING  EFFORTS

·         Conducting Waste Management competition among housing societies in each ward


·         Conducting presentations for the societies on public holidays to teach citizens various waste management techniques


·         In first week of September, BMC will also stage a citywide exhibition , displaying composting machines of 40 to 50 firms , before 22,000 bulk generators such as hotels and societies


·         BMC has appointed 35 teams to undertake daily door – to – door campaigns and inspect housing societies




WHAT  ABOUT  REWARD  ?


No one will deny that all of this “ Educating “ is necessary



But , by itself , it is not likely to bring about the desired results  !



But the desired results can come only when BMC puts in place :



Incentivizing  Housing Societies  {  27  April  2016  }






And the surest way to solve the problem of Plastic Garbage ( 15,000 tons per day in entire India ) , is to implement :
