Solid Waste Management Roundtable News Today

“Spitting on anyone is an insult and has only negative emotions attached to it. Spitting on a mother is something unthinkable. We felt the timing was right for people to listen to this specific reason of disrespect to our Mother Earth, to address this social ill that has been tolerated in our country for too long now,” shares Odette Katrak, co-founder of Beautiful Bharat.

Speaking with Bangalore Mirror, Mohan Devegowda of Runaddicts explained that volunteers help organise their events. “We have around 50 volunteers. They collect cutlery from the cutlery bank maintained by Adamya Chetana. They return the cutlery to Adamya Chetana after the event. We have been organising events since 2016. We encourage people not to use plastic. Our aim is to ensure our events have zero waste,’’ said Mohan Devegowda.

Vani Murthy, the 60-year-old homemaker-turned-changemaker who goes by Worm Rani on Instagram, is inspiring youngsters to compost and manage waste sustainably in urban spaces through her short and informative videos.

ENVIRONMENTAL activists are urging global leaders to come out with a holistic global treaty to reduce plastic pollution.
