CONGRATULATIONS!!

Compost generated from organic waste (food and leaves) was used in the school grounds

Focus for the year 2012-2013

• Maintain segregation, make it better! Make sure there are appropriate signs on all bins across the school campus.

• Bring e-Waste and Tetra Pak cartons from home and put it in the bins at school.

• Spread the message on waste management at home and to friends by being an example yourself.

• Spread this attitude across the city by not littering the streets. Can you hold onto your waste in your hand / bag until you find the right bin to put it in?

Focus for the year 2012-2013

• Start segregation at home.

• Contact Saahas for managing waste in apartments, offices

• Those of you who live in Koramangala visit our neighbourhood waste mgt units named Kasa Rasa – Near National Games Village and near Jyothi Nivas College.

• If you’d like to volunteer for Saahas during holidays – contact us
