Managing waste better
The practice of segregation of waste is still uncommon. When waste is mixed together, it loses its value and has to be denounced to the landfill. It is said that by 2030, India will need a landfill almost as big as the city of Bengaluru to dump its waste. Segregation! Set up a segregation system. Get two dustbins of different colours and start throwing wet waste in one and dry waste in another. Placing the wet waste container in kitchen would be a great idea since most of the wet waste comes from there.
Going one step further, composting can really help, directly diverting plenty of waste from landfills for enriching infertile soil. Composting costs nothing more than ₹5 and five minutes in a day.
Know your street/ area
Everyday issues like waste, water, and sanitation come under the direct purview of a city’s municipal corporation. In most cities, every area falls under a ward, the smallest geographical unit of a constituency. An official called a corporator or councillor is in charge of the ward. This person has the power to solve a lot of the problems at the ward level. Having proper information about the official can be helpful in getting issues resolved. Most of this information is easily accessible online. This information may also help citizens take informed decisions during municipal elections.
