PREFACEThIs Bcok. M~iclean and Wastc-Free Neighborhood has been prepared for aduits livingin urban areas of Nepal and feeling concerned about the waste in their neighborhood.The main cbjectlves of this boek is to make them aware of their own responsibilities atvarious levels to solve their waste problems.

1. on an individual level, which means each house taking care of their own waste,reducing it, composting and recycling it or collecting it for recycling and disposingit in a proper way;

2. on a community level, where the householders join efforts and organize a pick upservice, composting and recovery of waste items for recycling;

3. in contacting the municipalities and pressurize them to establish a waste manage-ment which is acceptable to the municipal population.

We are aware of the public health problems and r~sk~d”~’~ thc incr�asingpioductionof ëwasteî every day, especlally In the urban areas. Here, In this regard the publicawareness towards a clean and healthy environment is rapidly lncreasing and so Es therequest for adequate answers and sustainable options.

Motivating and attractive stones were chosen to catch the participantsf attention to aproblem which is rather being neglected and passed over to others to solve. At the endof each story, different activities related to the stones are given. The partîclpants arebeing encouraged to actively participate in reducing the waste production, reusing andrecycling activities and composting. The partlcipants are being motivated to act respon-sibly in keeping their neighborhood environment clean and healthy and at the sametime to become creative in conscious waste handling. They also get some understand-ing of the possibilities of joint efforts a community can do to assist in organizing properwaste management in the neighborhood.

We would appreciate valuablé suggestions from facilitators or participants of the train-ing workshops to make this book more practical and effective.

Foreword

In the urban areas of Nepal ~heenvironmental pollution is increasing and the healthand the well being of the municipal popu!ation are 1fl jeopardy Hence, the santtaryliving conditions have to be improved This challenging task cannot be done by themunicipahty alone: The ability of a society to improve its living conditions cannot befulty uti~zedif the population does not feel responsible for their environment.

The municipal population should be aware of their own potential in collaboratingactively with the municipal administration in responsibly handling their waste. Thisbook with its playful approach will make it easy for concemed members of thesociety to realize the negative consequences of dumping waste carelessly in theneighborhood and to develop strategies and use technologies to solve the problems0fl 2 personal level as well as 0fl 2 community level.

In this way, we believe, the waste-problem can be solved on a sustainable socialbasis and the neighborhood will be a more pleasant and a more healthy place to livefor is population.

We hope this book will be used by participants as well as hv vottinteers anr1facilitators involved in the non-formal education sector

Lesson learned from the 1 St part of the story

There is no perfect place for the waste item to live in. For example, if they are:

a) thrown in the street: people donft Jike them as they smeil bad.

b) durnped outside the city in a beautifu’ mountain: it spoi!s the surrounding.

c) burht produced smoke, like plastic stink and people get headache.

d) duriped in the r~ver:the water get contaminated.

‘?~ ~

Scene’- 1We ca~make compost from the decomposing leftovers ourseves. First of all:collect ‘aH the leftovers from your kitchen like orange peel, egg sheils, apple cores,chicken bones, vegetab~eleftovers, and anything organic.

Scene - 4

Scene -

-~-

Ask around in your neighbarhood, It they have cows or chicken, because themanure from these animals is exceHent for your compost.

Mixing e~erythingtogether you will make a rich fertilizer. When you have morekitchen leftovers put them on top of your pile and cover them again with more dryleaves and soli.

Inside a miracle happens. M the orangepeels, egg sheils and everything organicthat you put in there transforms itself intorich black soli, but the compost pile needsthree things:

. MOISTURE . HEAT . AIR

• ~,q

Scene -

The veg~tabIeleftovers already contain moisture.OnIy in the dry season the pilegets very dry and we have to sprinkle a littie water onto the pHe.

Scenè - 7With t~omuch moisture the organic leftovers foul, but do not decompose. Theystink. ‘In the rainy season we should protect the compost pile from too muchwater, placing it either under the roof or covenng it with a p’astic on top.

When leftovers transform into soli heat is being produced by itself. This heat isneeded so that organic leftovers transform into soil. The heat destroys all thegerms~The compost pi!e shou~dnot be too small, so the heat does not evaporate.In winter the piJe should be covered with a mat.

Scene - 9The transforrnation process from waste to manure requires also air. The compostpile should be tumed every 5 to 7 days in a way that the outer ~ayeris placediriside o~the new pile. Being placed on the outer )ayer of the pile It was too cool todecomp~seand tum into soil. Inside the pile the heat is protected and the organicteftovers also transform into soli. At the same time all germs and the fly eggs Ia~donto the pile will get destroyed.

WHAT WE CAN DO TO KEEPOUR COMMUNITY CLEAN

Waste prqduced in the househoids should not be scattered and dumped everywhere.It looks ugly, smeils bad and can make us sick. By dumping waste in the streets we areasking too much of any waste management system to keep our city dear.

We can collect all our waste and bring it to the next container. This way, the containerFitIs up very fast. It is very hard for a waste management agency to deal with so muchwaste.

We can reduce our waste production if we produce less waste, e.g., if we go shoppingwith our own bags and botties, pols or other containers. We can therefore avoid to buythe goods in wrapping paper, plastic bags or in a tin.

We can further reduce the waste by making compost out of kitchen and garden tefto-vers. This makes an excellent organic fertilizer. At the same time, bad smeils andhygienic risks will nearly be eliminated.

We can furtgher reduce our waste by utilizing some of the teftovers for new and usefulpurposes. For example, bags, bottles and tins can be cleaned and used again; someeven may be decorated.

We can further reduce our waste further by separating those leftovers which can beused by others, like glass, tins, paper, plastic botties or bags. We can give them awayor seil them to scavengers. Doing all this a very small rest of leftovers wil 1 have to becarried to the container.
