With so much negativity and sad news
outside, I managed to introspect our lives and found some positive actions too.
When
I pondered over the impact which we humans have been having on the Earth, I realized
the importance of taking some action against the same.
The
thought of maintaining the nature and environment as it originally was, has
struck my mind and have realized the importance of Sustainable development and
growth of the mankind.
The
action towards the sustainable development, saving environment, etc., is not
something which has to be done only by the environmentalists or the social
groups. It is possible to do even by an individual, by simply taking the
initiatives at their respective homes.
If
each individual on this planet, decides to work towards sustainable development
simply only for their families and homes, it will help the entire world for the
objective of a cleaner, better and a healthier environment.
This lockdown period is all about the
self-realization and the actions that can be taken individually starting from
our homes for the sustainable development
Coming
back to my self-realization, the current phase of the lock-down has given me the
time to think for such activities and ideas where my family and myself can act
accordingly and take necessary steps for Sustainable Development.
There
is an activity which we have been undertaking for around 10 years now, of Composting
our Kitchen Waste. This initiative was started by my father, Pankaj
Khandelwal, a Chemical Engineer, wherein he had decided that there will be Zero
kitchen waste disposed from our House. And we have bene proudly following and
continuing this activity and feel happy to even promote to the people so that
there is a defined process to reduce waste. Apart from the satisfaction of Zero
Waste disposed, there is another important benefit of the compost which is
created i.e. it serves a great organic home-made fertilizer for our plants at
home.
Initially we faced certain issues and
inconvenience, but then, gradually we understood the right method for the
composting process and since then it has been a simple task and a routine to
follow for us by simply converting the waste into a valuable product i.e., compost,
as and when its generated.
Therefore, I feel it is very important
every house / society should start with this initiative in order to reduce down
the waste disposed from their end.
