A society can not exist without caring for and taking care of the environment around it. Our land, water and air are getting polluted day in and day out. Our land is filled with non-degradable materials that will curtail the water replenishment of the soil and will emit carcinogens for years to come. Lack of proper waste management results in degradable waste getting degenerated on the road sides and other public spaces emitting bad odor and becoming breeding ground for rats, bacteria, flies and mosquitoes. Our water resources including our drinking water supplies are becoming dumping ground for waste including plastic and toxic wastes. The uncontrolled air pollution is causing breathing problems to children and adults alike. Our ever growing carbon dioxide emission is adding to the global warming.
We need a great push to stop the deterioration of our environment, for us and for the generations to come. We need a concerted effort from public to stop this abuse and save our earth.
Navabharath Foundation has launched two initiatives in this space – Jaiva and CYOB.
Our Jaiva initiative is to provide a simple solution for the domestic garbage problem – the bio-degradable waste.
Our Carry Your Own Bag (CYOB) movement is a campaign against the usage of plastic bags for shopping, with the introduction of reusable cloth bags.
