MINUTES AGO ………
Off on Saturday could be a good day to get relaxed and enjoy the weekend.
I was enjoying the Morning Coffee, and there came our KASADA GAADI.
Funny to hear,
Its garbage collection vehicle,
KASADA GAADI :)
As all aware, it is very much important to do WASTE SEGREGATION, and so our layout received even dustbins to follow the same.
Since, we knew the importance of waste segregation, mom was very strict in segregating waste. My degree also taught me the concept of zero waste management, which helped me to be thoughtful in segregating waste.
It was a proud moment to dump the segregated waste to vehicle. Oh yes! We were a part of clean Bengaluru :)
But as I stood in the queue to dump the waste, I saw that many of my neighbors were not segregating the waste.
As the waste was being dumped, the driver started educating them on the road.
It was a classroom with live example :)
I recalled the definitions of wet waste and dry waste.
He continued, “Wet waste is the materials which gets decomposed. Dry waste like paper, covers are not decomposable, hence it should be separated so that it could be recycled. Wet waste has to be dumped in Green dustbin and dry waste in brown dustbin.”
Then he raised a question “Did you see BBMP advertisement?”
No answers, complete silence. The lecturer made the class sleepy? :)
He then asked, in fact requested to segregate waste. Nodding the head, everyone dispersed.
As I walked from our KASADA GAADI, I was amazed to realize how the people from higher posts were lectured by a common man.
Questions raised in mind..........
They say knowledge is power, why are they not utilizing the same power to safeguard our ecology?
Why is the thought, not reaching every individual?
