By viewing land as a commodity, we often abuse
its privilege. Rather by seeing it as a community
we may begin to treat it with love and respect.

Practice actions that minimise the impact on the environment so
that you can tell your grandchildren that you are their superhero.
Conserve more than you use, create before you think it's waste,
and think of economically and environmentally viable services.
Vidusshi Hingad from Ms Kavita Dyas' Tutor Group
In a world challenged by the rising demand of falling supplies,
the future calls for sustainability: Mitigate the wants, and adapt
the needs.
Vasav Jain from Mr Harry Martin's Tutor Group
The unfortunate truth is that we want far more than we can have,
and that's destroying our planet. Consuming and producing

What you own isn't as important as why you own it. Identify
the essential, eliminate the rest, stay blessed and consume less

Consumption and production processes encompass everything
from infrastructure development to efficient resource
management. In a rapidly progressing world, making these
processes responsible is integral for sustainable development.

E-WASTE MAD PROJECT
Electronic waste is emerging as a serious environmental and public health issue in the world right now, especially since the recent shift to virtual
platforms by businesses and educational institutes has led to a surge in electronic devices purchased. As a result, we are presently generating more e-
waste than ever before. India is on track to produce over 3 million tonnes of e-waste this year. What is worse is that an average Mumbaikar produces
seven times the electronic waste generated by an average India. These shocking statistics, coupled with the team's collective love for the environment,
inspired the idea of an e-waste club. As a part of the We Recycle E-waste project, we had two goals- the first was to start conversation and create
awareness, not only among the youth but also among Indians as a whole. After raising awareness, we wanted to provide solutions, by facilitating the
process of e-waste collection and disposal.
Carrying out extensive research on collection, disposal and recycling of electronic waste, our team was able to gauge the problem and the steps
required to be taken. In addition, we sent out surveys to understand the extent and root of the issue. We communicated with EcoReco (a licensed
recycling agency) and made posters and fliers to promote our drive. We collaborated and formulated e-mails requesting permission from our societies.
We also drafted messages to be sent as whatsapp forwards to inform people about the drive. While some of us worked on preparing a list of all valid e-
waste that people could donate, others were incredibly busy making last minute changes to the posters. We wanted everything to be perfect. This
initially tedious seeming task bore fruit when we saw the number of people who showed up to enthusiastically participate in the drive. As a team, we
were incredibly successful throughout the drive. We managed to collect an average of 55 kgs of E-waste per member of the team. In total, we have
collected over 350 kgs of E-waste in a 2 day drive across 7 different parts of Mumbai. A few members of our team were also able to develop regular
contracts between their societies and the e- waste management organisation for monthly disposal.
Looking back on this experience, we believe we learnt a lot. We made a tangible impact in our communities and for this we conclude that the
campaign was a success. This entire process was quite rewarding for all of us, and we genuinely felt as if we had made a significant difference and
played our part to contribute to helping the environment.
