I am an Environment Warrior or a Community Organizer for ITC's Well-being Out of Waste (WOW) initiative. I work to spread awareness about the importance of segregation of waste into wet and dry at the source. The sources of waste could be homes or neighbourhoods. Waste segregation is important for several reasons, as it helps manage waste efficiently, reduces environmental pollution, and promotes sustainability. It also reduces burden on landfills and waste, lowering methane emissions and slowing climate change. Waste segregation is a two step process. Firstly, In my neighbourhood I spread awareness amongst the residents on the importance of waste segregation and help executing it. Secondly, we work with local municipalities, like the Municipal Corporation of Delhi to train waste workers and rag-pickers in the concept of waste segregation to ensure an efficient waste collection system. The waste that is segregated into wet and dry is then further converted into compost or recycled. This reduces the amount of waste going to landfills, provides raw material to several industries through dry waste collected, ensures regular work & income for waste collectors and generates new opportunities for waste recycling entrepreneurs. Successful waste segregation leads to a zero waste society.
