Conservation

Even after changing houses and localities, the water situation did not improve, and Kalpana soon realised that the only way to resolve this, at least on a household level, was to start conserving water.

even with a large scale pursuit of forestation, a persistent problem continues—that of the plastic bags in which small saplings are planted.

Because the city suffers from water scarcity, Epari Krishna Rao has to purchase water from private players to water the plants and keep the park green.

Over the past one year, the volunteers have planted about 8000 saplings on the once barren hill. They even took over the nurturing of plants and reported a survival rate of 98 percent!

PT Shinde attached sentimental values to this task and encouraged villagers to gift a sapling to the families celebrating special occasions. He even encouraged them to gift a sapling to a family in memory of a loved one they lost.

The proprietary chemical developed by the research group is an organic chemical based on olefins. It helps bind the polymer and fibre materials to form the composites.

These actions serve as perfect examples and can be taken up by other states as well.

When it comes to tree conservation, seldom do we think about relocating them and for obvious reasons. Many of us are not aware that full-grown trees can be transplanted if they face the danger of getting felled.

About 28 individuals from the community are directly involved in the process and make use of five trawlers to retrieve the plastic waste from the sea.

Hike, and spread the word of responsible waste management, if you truly love nature!
