Going Green! How?

I saw a news about school children doing a road campaign to Go Green. There are posters to say recyle/reuse. All this is great and really makes lot of sense as we need to save our environment and resources. Government is talking about it, Corporates are talking about it, we have green cars, green computers and what not but what about trash we generate in house holds? We got everything from plastics to glass to cans, paper. How much of that is being recycled?

I stay in an apartment complex with over 300+ apartments. You can imagine the amount of garbage getting generated on a daily basis. The typical cyle of trash is - each house hold put out trash in a plastic cover and keep it outside their aparment for maintenance people to pick it up. The collected is dumped in to a common area in the apartment complex which is then cleared by city corporation. Now I have no clue if this trash is simply dumped in a big garbage land or recyclable items are extracted out of it??

There is a very simple solution that people in the west are using. There are two bins, one for the regular trash and the other for the recyclable trash. This makes people separate the two types of trash and put them in appropriate bins (well you will still have some lazy souls who will not bother and dump everything in one trash :).). You have good amount of stuff that is getting recycled.

Why can't the we implement similar thing in our country? I know that we all do that with news papers (well you get money for it so why not :)) but for sure lot of stuff is just being dumped with regular trash. What are teh challenges? Is to too hard to implement? too expensive? Why do you think the government is not enforcing this in some way?

What's your take on this?

Karnataka Floods and Fund Raising

Other day I read an article in times on flood and amount funds that government needs to rebuild those villages and towns. It invited suggestions from people on what additional taxes can be levied on people towards this fund. People came up with suggestions asking ministers and govt. officers to use Volvo instead of cars, cut their travel etc. 

How much will all this add to? We are talking of 20,000 Crores! With Central govt, giving 1000 crores and road to road fund collection another 1000 crores it's still long way to go.

So how can be solve this? Well, one suggestion that came to my mind was why not use the technology and India's biggest strength, Population to help get there. I don't know the actual logistics and feasibility of this solution but think of it, made sense to me...

We have several hundred mobile subscribers in India, what if for every one rupee that a person spends on his cell, he/she contributes 10 paise towards this fund. Take an average of five rupee spend on phone in a day by one person, you can do that math of how many can be pooled in a day and day after day! Drop by drop you make an ocean. Here everyone gets a chance to contribute and hardly pinch their pockets.

The telcos will have to do some changes to their systems to support this but shouldn't be hard I guess.

You must be wondering if I did send my suggestion to chief minister. Well, I did and haven't heard back still so either it's totally a wacky idea that could be digested or nobody bothered to read my email :)...you know how our govt. works.
