Mounds of plastic-bags filled with garbage at every corner. Cows and strays foraging in it. It tells an elaborate story of wasted food rotting on the streets.
With very few citizens actually segregating wet and dry waste, it is little wonder that 68 per cent of Bangalore’s garbage comprises of food waste. This colossal waste can be put to good use, with a little effort and understanding from citizens.
North Bangalore residents have a chance to come together on www.northbangalorepost.com to do their bit for the environment and themselves by joining the `Hands 2 Compost’ movement. It is a do-it-yourself composting guide which will actually help them grow ornamental plants, flowers, vegetables and fruits. Or, if you already have a terrace garden or kitchen garden patch, our experts will help you improve it.
By not throwing away kitchen wastes, you can gain some quality fertiliser for your garden, be it a row of pots on your balcony or the neighbourhood trees. By practising this alternative, environmentalists say every household can reduce their waste output by as much as 250 Kg a year! That's a lot off burden off the BBMP.
Northbangalorepost will put together expert advice on composting, organics and greening in a series of stories and also involve residents with workshops and field trips.
In the coming weeks, we promise to change the way you look at garbage. Forever.
We invite citizens to join hands to this campaign, by clicking this link
