Waste up With Waste Management India!
Waste Management in India is still unorganized and looked down upon. Most individuals have no idea as what happens with waste once it is collected from their house or dumped at the local community dump site. In fact in our country the field of waste management is frowned upon, due to cultural and social beliefs.
I am speaking from experience here! I have had over four years of hard core, practical, grass root experience in the field of Waste management in India and have created a successful company Eco Wise Waste Management in this period. There have been a lot of cosmetic changes in India in the last five years, new roads, the metro, a new international airport topped off with a booming economy. Yet where ever we go there is, dust, garbage, construction debris, and litter! The question I ask myself is, why do we as people not care or make an effort to try and change things? After all we share the same space, breathe the same air and proudly call this country ours.
Consider this for a moment; you are walking down Lajpat Nagar in south Delhi munching on some Lay’s chips. You are now done with your chips and conveniently dispose the packaging on the street. Hey everyone is doing it, no one is going to stop you and you more so it does not affect you. But when you think about the thousands of people walking on the street doing the same thing that you did the effects are grave. We have got so used to acting without thinking that even urinating in open spaces in front of people brings little or no shame to us.
One of our national heroes Mahatma Ghandi once said cleanliness is next to godliness. Well there is a lot of godliness and a very little cleanliness prevalent in our country today. Many things are done in our country in the name of God, why not add cleaning the country to it! Next time you feel the urge to litter, or dump your garbage on the corner of the street, think of what you are teaching your children, think of what you are telling the people and visitors to our country (I don’t give a shit) and most of all think of yourself and the cause and effects of your actions.
