We are getting closer to the end of the year - can you believe it? And it’s always around this time that I start looking back and thinking of how the year has gone by. And so much has happened in waste management and its impact - these changes bit by bit add up to something larger, you know like a vision of a balanced future - one that thrives with the natural world without choking it. In these moments of reflection, gratitude is something we feel strongly for those who inspire us to stay long in this journey. Because a change in the better direction is a step towards ensuring an equitable future for us all.
So we take this moment to thank our safaai karamcharis for doing their part in keeping communities safe during the pandemic. For cleaning our streets when we are asleep. How it ends up by the end of the day is really up to us

In this episode we are exploring an interesting question - why do we clean? Yes, we’ve been told that cleanliness is important and a responsibility we need to shoulder together. But why do we engage ourselves in sorting our mess? More importantly, why do we stop there? If we are happy with how our immediate surroundings appear, why not care about our collective surroundings - the outdoors. This could be the street right outside a home, a public park not too far away or a lake we so joyfully take a boat ride in.

The life giving force we call earth has been home to around 10K generations of our human species. Caring for this life sustaining energy has been nurtured from one generation to the next, but in the last seven decades we’ve been cast under a spell. Old and most certainly not updated models and processes have been misused to change our mindset and behaviours that go against our ancestral knowledge of care for our natural world. Guess what? This is changing. It’s changing as our youth look around to redesign these very outdated socio-economic systems of how we view our relationship with the planet.

Plastic’s existence has been debated on for some time now - a durable and versatile material but one that will never ever truly go away when discarded. We have our lives so entwined in plastic that we are only starting to break it down and understand its unsustainable nature. Awareness really is the very first step in being able to refuse, reduce and reuse plastic from our lives and that is what we are going to try and do in this episode. We have solutions which can scale in size - all they really need is for more of us to adopt them every single day.

“Our past, our present, and whatever remains of our future, absolutely depend on what we do now." .
This big blue marble that we call our home, is blue because of the vast oceans that engulf it. Ponds, lakes, rivers, seas - all these water bodies always find their way to an ocean. And all these water bodies together help in sustaining our marine life and ecosystem.
Unfortunately, the truth of our ocean habitats is that there are huge massive piles of plastic waste just sitting in river banks or floating in the middle of the oceans. Going round and round and round in ocean currents, disintegrating into microplastics and finally, showing up inside all kinds of marine species.
We have solutions that can prevent our consumption from polluting our water bodies, we have real life examples of communities showing up for their beaches and we have simple and sustainable alternatives to help protect our oceans. This episode highlight those stories and solution
