   When we talk about sustainability or environment or recycling this is a collective action. It takes a community effort to bring a change. But individual efforts, rather small actions goes a long way in bringing considerable results in the society. In the summer months, in scorching heat we get reprieve by a cool drink but disposal of that plastic or can is very important. Do not throw in the waste. Look for recyclable bin & dispose. Moreover, if the bin is not nearby, collect the recyclable material in a bag & dispose after 2-3 weeks as per convenience. You will feel empowered, cherished. While brushing your teeth in the morning do not keep the tap open. Use water to rinse & dispose the froth only. A small leak can empty a huge water tank.

If it is a big load they may collect from your household as well. While going for the regular grocery shopping or for purchasing fruits & vegetables, please use jute bags or recyclable plastic or paper bags.
