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 :
