'According to you, is waste segregation important?
What tips would you give?'
Most of the time, we cut off the corners of milk
or chips packets.
Instead, we can make a straight cut and not cut off
the corner and so that it can be upcycled as a whole.
Sharp objects like blades, needles, knives, etc
can be wrapped before throwing away for safety.
Electronics like light bulbs is a hazardous waste.
They should be segregated from regular waste.
I feel, we all need to know this.
If we collect plastic waste separately
every week and sell it to the junk dealer,
they make some money out of it and the cleaners
don't have to separate them from waste.
I appeal to segregate sanitary waste
aside from other waste.
We should try segregating waste consciously
from our side
to take some load off the sweepers
and cleaning workers.
If you want more information to start
waste segregation,
you can visit www.riseagainstwaste.com.
Link is in the description box as well.
In Pune, Rohan Builders is on a mission
which is very important for our future generation.
Rise Against Waste means My Waste My Responsibility.
Which means we are responsible for elimination
of the waste we produce and we should accept it.
