Garbage to Gold workshop at NTPC-Ramagundam
Before we worried about how to dispose of waste, there is a chance to stop waste from even becoming ‘waste’”, said renowned waste management expert C Srinivasan.
Ramagundam: “Before we worried about how to dispose of waste, there is a chance to stop waste from even becoming ‘waste’”, said renowned waste management expert C Srinivasan.
Srinivasan, the Project Director of the Indian Green Service (IGS), Vellore, attended as the chief speaker at the ‘Garbage to Gold’ workshop held at NTPC-Ramagundam on Wednesday.
Addressing the participants, he explained that if garbage is collected within the first six hours, it isn’t even waste yet. It can easily be used for other purposes like food or compost. Collection of garbage twice in a day is now a practice in some places, he added.
Held as part of Swachh Bharat Pakhwada (from 1 to 15 July), the programme was attended by employees and their spouses in large numbers. Srinivasan explained how garbage or waste can be utilised properly to the larger benefits of the society through his own personal experiences and projects.
He demonstrated how simple steps can help us reduce the larger problem of waste management and garbage disposal through some wonderful examples. The IGS Project Director further explained that garbage segregation starts from home through red and green dustbins.
While red dustbin will contain inorganic wastes like paper, card board, plastic, electric wire, glass, metal, robber, bottles, foot bears, the green dustbin contains organic wastes like vegetables, garden leaves, meat leftovers, food, coconut, tea, wood, etc.
