My point is about sensitization!"<br><br>- Perhaps you haven't taken into account the fact that, slums are often not facilitated by any waste management programs. E.g., your house may be cleaner, as you get someone to collect your waste, for poors, they don't have such facilities in most of the slums. <br><br>Sanitation and other issues related to awareness are still there. But things aren't as Blake and white.Sejhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05499882573223552443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16861130.post-88972034078792468172009-05-08T03:11:00.000-07:002009-05-08T03:11:00.000-07:00There are pilots implemented in Vellor and Kovalam...There are pilots implemented in Vellor and Kovalam for Zero Waste Management. We at AID Bangalore are trying to have one pilot for a village near Bangalore. Once they are successful, hopefully it will be implemented at large scale. True these models can be costly, but thankfully they have proved to be good at income generation too, along with creating enough employment opportunities.<br><br>Some links : <br><br>http://ngopost.org/story.php?title=Zero_Waste_Management_-_replicating_Vellore__Bangalore<br><br>http://www.zerowastekovalam.org/Sejhttp://sejswhirlpool.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16861130.post-72041870913942232172009-04-24T06:52:00.000-07:002009-04-24T06:52:00.000-07:00Sejal,I didn't mean to say that poor generate ...Sejal,<br>I didn't mean to say that poor generate more wastes than people like us. It was not an attempt to draw a comparison. But they do generate a lot of waste. Look at any of the slums. But my point it their participation in waste management is very less. Again, as I said, it isn't their fault. My point is about sensitization!<br><br>Monetary cost. Well my point no effective solution is first available... and if such solution is available, like in any other business, it will first be expensive and will gradually become cheaper.. Now in waste management, we don't have a solution to begin with.. sadly!Badhrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15549143296407318099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16861130.post-82766930379304114992009-04-24T06:23:00.000-07:002009-04-24T06:23:00.000-07:00Hey, just a suggestion, try to drink fresh juice i...Hey, just a suggestion, try to drink fresh juice instead of the ready-made ones, as they are healthier. Tetrapack are effectively used to make those paper dishes now a days. <br><br>It's true that to find an alternative to plastic might be difficult. But you can always re-use plastic and avoid as much as possible. <br><br>Green lifestyle might cost you more time, but I'm doubtful about the monetary cost of it. Also I dont at all agree with your statement that poors generate lot of waste. Most of the time it's us, the elite mass who generate more waste, and poors are at the receiving end of the sufferings due to it!Sejalhttp://sejswhirlpool.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
