Have we ever noticed how much of a waste lover we are. Recently the marriage season has got completed and everyone us would have been to one or other occasion. If we observe, it would be worth seeing how much of plastic and other waste we generate during these functions without ever feeling even a pinch of guilt about it. Even if any one of us intends to change the way the waste is generated there is a sense of complete helplessness about it. Neither of the agency involved in the occasion is ready to take the responsibility for the waste, which is collectivley transferred to the muncipial corporation.
In developed countries like Aus, US and other places concept of zero waste event is emerging, wherein the waste generated is very low and whatever is generated is recycled/reused. The catch is the the agency which manage zero waste event, charge a marginal amount for that.
Are we aready to pay that amount, which would ultimately end up saving water, energy, air etc. And if we are not able to pay for such zero waste event, then are we even aware enough to ask the agencies about their waste management practices - and select only those who are more environment friendly.
