We all need to save our earth
Bangalore used to be a
Garden City
Now it has become a
Garbage City

EXISTING LANDFILL SITES IN AND AROUND BANGALORE
Why should the waste go all this distance and then
be RETREIVED and brought back to Bangalore
…….
WHY GARBAGE CITY
• No civic rules unlike western countries.
• No implementation.• No awareness of the impact on life.• Complete lack of personal discipline.• No facilitation of garbage
management by the civic authorities-only garbage disposal.
Municipal garbage consists of
• Food waste• Garden waste• Dry waste-paper /plastic/glass/metal/
e-waste and other dry waste• Medical waste • Debris and much more
• It is the plastic bag culture that has become the bane of our life.
• Each plastic bag is used for only a few minutes before disposing.
• Each of us uses 22,000 plastic bags in an average life time.
• 8% of the world’s oil production is used for the production of plastic leading to global warming.
Do you know how much GARBAGE
YOUR house/office
GENERATES?
OR IS IT OUT OF SIGHT OUT OF MIND?
what happens to your garbage?
picked up by your pourakarmika in the push cart.
Throw it out of your home
Garbage dumped on the road corners Eaten by animals esp. the cows and dogs
Mixed garbage filled in the trucks
unsorted garbage causes
• Air pollution, • Water pollution, • Disease (due to mosquitoes/flies),• co2, • clogged drains etc.
Bangalore produces 50 lakh kgs of garbage per day.

The Need
The improper mixed waste disposal• generates carbon dioxide, methane (Global warming.)• Every cubic meter of garbage can foster about 7.5 lakh flies, breeding ground for disease bearing bacteria.• Stray dogs, pests like Mice, Rats, Cockroaches etc. dwell and thrive in heaps of garbage disposed irresponsibly.
More than 70% of our household garbage is biodegradable. It can be recycled into precious nutrient material called ‘ compost’ that can be used for pants

• If you are told you can save the earth by spending less than 5 minutes of a 1440 minute day would you do it?
• If u are not part of the solution you are part of the problem.

Waste composition
Managing Waste is a four part
process
starting with
•Segregation at source• Recycling,• Composting , and• Managed Disposal of remaining
waste.
We Segregate all day
• Cooking. • Clothes.• Books to school• Everything in the
house• Documentation in
the office
• Why not garbage?
Every family produces about ½ to 1 kg of garbage every day
If we cannot segregate 1 kg of garbage
that we produce on a daily basis ?
How can we expect any local body
to deal with it???Most efficient machine to segregate is our hands
No automated machines are needed
MIXED GARBAGE POLLUTES
paper gets soggyplastic gets dirty
wet waste gets contaminated
SEGREGATED GARBAGE is CLEAN
CAN BE RECYCLEDand REUSED

Why must you and I do it?
• Cannot contaminate the earth any more.
• If we continue like this then we will have
Why take the expensive option?
Types of Waste
•Wet waste
•Dry waste
•E waste
•Garden waste
•Rejects
MANAGED…
Think before you throw.
Simple Two dust bins under the kitchen sink
• Into one put all the kitchen waste
no plastic liner.
wash daily
• Into the other all the dry waste papers
plastics
carry bags
plastic wrappers of food,
cover of the bread etc.
One will not soil the other.
Garbage within12 hrs
RawOdorless
Storage time Status of garbage
12 hours Odorless fresh raw material
24 hours Smelly decomposed material
72 hours and more Worm (maggots) infested waste
Unwanted materials turn into waste in the following manner
Food waste can be cow eatable waste and non-cow eatable waste
Cows-traditional method • Cows eat raw vegetables
and food waste• Each eats about 35kgs of
food waste per day.• Converts it into dung in 12
hrs• Dung used to make biogas
and the slurry can be used for vermi composting.
Cows are the best machines to deal with wet waste-no
strikes, no pay .no increments and work 365 days a year.
Clean dry waste is collected and stored in the homes to be collected once a
week.
No stink,
No cockroaches/mosquitoes/rats/flies
Why should plastic be
converted into oil? Plastic
must be converted into other plastic
products.
Burning leaves is routineEach leaf is precious-
do not burn it
Burning leaves produces air
pollutionLoss of precious
resource
Shredding the leaves at home
• Composting the aerobic way in your garden
Mix the veg and food waste with cow dung and put it on the
heap above the ground

Large quantities need to be reduced in volume through mobile shredders
Composted dry leaf and garden litter in public parks could produce
manure onsite with small investment
Huge savings in water consumption, as soil conditioned with manure
retains more water
Leaf composting -simple
Do not burn the leaves
Compost them.
Home Compost used to make a terrace garden at home
Put separate bins in all areas
Creates awareness among all people
Wet waste
• Converted into manure-by composting at home –daily dump
• Vermi composting• Aerobic composting• EM solutions• Organic waste composter • Bio gas conversion

Value of waste………
What is in it for me???
• There are agencies that are willing to pay for your waste, if it is segregated and stored properly.
• These agencies represent the growing “Waste to Wealth” Industry, that is recycling our waste for profit.
Roadmap towards Zero Waste
Solid Waste Management Round TableBengaluru, 2010, shows

WASTE STREAM MANAGEMENT (WSM) CONTRACT
&
so, what can YOU do?
This can be done by just adopting simple practises
•Carrying cloth bags for shopping rather than getting plastic bags.
•Be environmentally conscious at all times.
No disposablesonly reusables
• Don’t use plastic or styrofoam glasses, plates etc.
• Use areca plates and other natural degradable products
• Or better use melamine or steel plates and glasses
Paper cups Eco friendly?
Can paper hold water?
Paper cup-what is it actually?
made of layers of paper and polyethelene -to be able to hold liquids.
And it takes 3.5 cups of water to make the paper cup.
• Water was free before
• But now we have to buy water
• Air is free now.
• But soon we will need to buy air.
• Ordinary water costs 6 paise a liter.• Bottled water comes at 12-15 Rs a liter(250% more).• And use it for only a few minutes.• We use millions of bottles of water in a day in India.
Each bottle is made of oil. 1/4 lt oil to make one bottle. Imagine how many cars can run on the oil
greatest source of pollution in water bodies
So reduce your use of bottled water, especially –
• On a daily basis,• During weddings and occasions,• Go back to keeping water • in glass bottles and matkas

When we say WeMOW , we mean………..
We manage our Garden waste
We manage our Food waste
We manage our paper / plastic waste
We manage our E- waste
We manage our Bio medical waste
We manage our rejects
Introducing…….We MOW(We Manage Our Waste)
• Objective: positive recognition by accreditation
• Target: communities, corporates & campuses which
have already willingly adopted in-house waste management
• Vision: We MOW to be recognized as a responsible
practice to be adopted by every citizen in the city for a sustainable future
Conclusion
We believe that MANAGING WASTE is the only way for a sustainable future
We are asking the authorities… …for PLANNING which will enable
waste stream management…for PROMOTION through large scale awareness campaigns…to PRACTICE and lead by good example …for ENFORCEMENT by incentivising and disincentivising
56
So Let’s Resolve…
• To not look at the others , but to look at ourselves.
• To make that change in our own
homes TODAY• To get one more person we know
to make that change in their house…
