Dear Editor,
I know a person who manages waste in an amazing manner. He keeps a small polythene bag to put items other than recyclables. He puts out the organic remains of vegetables to dry and then mixes them in the soil for fertilisation. Pulses and boiled vegetables are also put out to dry on the roof in an open container. When they become odourless and smaller in size, he puts them in the soil for recycling. After a few days, it becomes manure for use of plants. He collects the tea remains in a pot and mixes them in soil. It is then used as an organic manure for the plants. The leaves of trees are thrown in a pit and covered with soil to be turned into a manure for organic gardening.
If we all also practice this method, we can achieve a lot in environment conservation.
