LET’S STOP LIVING W-A-S-T-E-F-U-L-L-Y AND START LIVING RESOURCEFULLY
A Workshop for teachers and school administrators on simple, feasible solutions for waste management in schools

Schools play an important role in keeping our environment clean. One important step in this process is educating students and the wider community about reducing the amount of resources consumed, so that we do not needlessly throw used material into garbage bins. For this “waste” ultimately lands up in street corners, lakes, forests, outskirts of the city and in village grazing pastures and farmlands causing massive pollution and creating major public health hazards. While each of us can do a lot in making schools less wasteful, better results are achieved when the whole school makes a commitment to minimizing resource consumption, improve “waste” management and recover and reuse material – be it in composting organic waste to make it into rich manure, or in turning “waste” material into fantastic daily use craft stuff. All this is important because schools have the additional and vital responsibility of being the conscious keepers of our society, of instilling living habits for the community that are environmentally sustainable and socially just. As resources decline, the more imaginative, intelligent and creative we are with the use of material, the softer we tread on this planet and the greater are our chances of leaving a truly living planet for generations to come. There are plenty of solutions that Schools with their students and teachers can adopt in their daily work, which can become happily contagious in society and rid it of its wasteful ways. Thus, help us shift our living habits to more healthier ways for the benefit of present and future generations.

Join us for in a workshop that will walk you through every little detail of “waste” management, “waste” recycling, “waste” composting, “waste” art, and so on. Equally importantly, come appreciate how we can reduce, recycle and reuse material and make it an every day practice, and revive our cultural and traditional ways of not living w-as-
t-e-f-u-l-l-y. The workshop will be in English and Kannada. The training includes lectures, do-it-yourself activities, discussions, case studies, films and presentations.
