NOT IN MY BACKYARD: Solid Waste Management in Indian Cities
Book Release and workshop: Patna, Bihar
Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), New Delhi is conducting a half day programme in Patna, Bihar on Solid Waste Management on 14th December, 2016 to release its report ‘Not in My Backyard: Solid Waste Management in Indian Cities’ and discuss the agenda for a clean Bihar.
We have been to some of the cleanest cities across the country and have rated them. The system for rating cities was to determine who is the cleanest of them all in terms of solid waste management. It is clear that cities that are segregating their waste have been able to effectively process and treat it and have achieved the status of zero landfill cities. While, some cities are doing - part segregation and part treatment. And then, there are a few cities, that are visibly clean but dumping their waste. We have incorporated all our findings in our book: ‘Not in My Backyard’.
The objective of this programme is to discuss the roadmap for a Swachh Bihar. It is clear that waste management needs to be reinvented in our cities. In light of the new Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016, segregation at source is imperative and the shift needs to be towards treatment and processsing. The meeting shall discuss the existing situation of state in terms of solid waste management, the new rules and some of the best practices across the country on solid waste management.
The programme is ideal for regulators, practitioners, consultants, academicians and NGOs working in solid waste management.
Date: December 14, 2016
Timing: 9.30 AM-2.30 PM
Venue: Auditorium, AN Sinha Institute of Social Studies, Patna, Bihar
Limited seats, for registration kindly write to Dr.Sonia Henam at sonia.henam@cseindia.org, +91-9871960493

दोस्तों,
रोज मर्रा की जिंदगी में हम प्लास्टिक और प्लास्टिक से बनी कई चीजो का इस्तेमाल करते है, प्लास्टिक को तो हमने जरुरत बना लिया है।
हम में से कईयो को इसके हानिकारक प्रभाव पता है फिर भी हम आम तौर पर इसका इस्तेमाल करते है। यह प्लास्टिक पर्यावरण के लिए हानिकारक है ये सब जानते है, लेकिन क्या आपको पता है की प्लास्टिक थैली, प्लास्टिक की पानी की बोतल के अलावा भी कई ऐसे उत्पाद है जो प्लास्टिक से बनते है।
जिनके घरो में छोटे बच्चे है (लगभग ३-५ साल के ) उनके यहाँ आम तौर पे फीडिंग बोतल (दूध पिलाने की बोतल) और सिपर (पानी पिलाने की बोतल) पाया जा सकता है।
In this issue Ambient Science have not only included the articles based on our ancient knowledge like “Traditionally used Medicinal Plants in the Treatment of Kidney Stone” but have shed light on some modern scientific aspects of science also viz., “Cloud Computing: Goals, Issues, SOA, Integrated Technologies and Future-scope” and “Best, Useful and Objective Precisions for Information Retrieval of Three Search Methods in PubMed and iPubMed”.

‘Religare’ , a word from Latin means “To Bind”, which evolved to ‘Religio’ to mean something which is a bond and something which someone Oblige to do. Thus evolved the word Religion. Religion further evolved to Ideas. Ideas of some people which convinced others and people decided to take those set of Ideas, Stories and Facts as a common ground for standing together and celebrating!
Different people, different Ideas, different goals, different religions! All Standing tall in their own beauty!
But its not just Ideas which bind us together. A common fact binds us all since the very begining. Not only humans, but even beings who don't communicate with us. The Friendly ones and also the beasts. That Eternal fact which we celebrate daily knowingly or unknowingly! The Fact that we are on the Planet which supports us for Life, and an environment which allows us to be alive to the fullest of human capabilities. That's something to be thankful of! That's the religion we celebrate even by just waking up to life and by evolving generation by generation, race by race. That's a religion we are passively part of.
The gods of this Religion are forces which we interact with and which make us alive. They support our life. Oxygen to breathe, Land to be sure that it will keep us supported, Water to keep us hydrated, air to make sure that we when we speak, our voice reaches to our loved ones! They have been our Gods for so long that we have been unconscious and unappreciative towards their role in our development and existance.
This unappreciative nature of us humans have really compromised our celebrations towards the nature. The trouble in breathing, the sliding of lands, the poisonous water and the diseases in air are now news of our daily life and not unheard of. On the name of progress and higher goals, we ignore the harm done to the environment and choose to be blind towards the environment.
We do it on our daily basis. From spitting on the streets to throwing a wrapper on the bench, we all contribute very minorly to this harm which multiplied by each individuals of earth makes it a huge mess for the whole Eco system to process. The supporter of our lives is now no more able to support us, making survival more and more difficult for the coming generations. Just by being a mere spectator to this change makes us equal criminals. Our homes are spic and span with no piece of dust on top of our expensive gadgets, but we forget to search for the garbage bin when we come outside of the house, not realizing that the asset of the Clean and Green Earth is Priceless and the consequences are much more expensive for the whole planet.
The Planet can be saved, the religion of environment can be protected. All we need is a Start. A Start from our mentality. The realization that solutions exist to the waste problem and we can solve it by just being creative is a good First step. Small steps like kitchen gardening , waste segregation, conserving water, planting trees and so on take us a long way. Understanding that the waste to someone can be a treasure to another being of the ecosystem can reduce the problem of Solid Waste to a great level.
Above all, the understanding that one is Important and make up the entity of the Eco System is the most important belief needed in the present day scenario. The want to change and save nature will find its way in making a better environment and shall make the day after tomorrow worth living.

It was a lazy morning. I woke up just at the right time to reach my class. I wished to bunk it today, but something about my professors just made me not to miss my class again. I was not late, but Professor was already in the class. Sir never dresses in casuals. Today he looked like he was in a jovial mood.
When the class settled down, he said, “We will discuss a grave issue today. Imagine, you are back at home after a very tiresome day, you have your dinner and go to bed. Your body wakes up to sweet light coming from your window and sounds of birds from outside. You figure out it is time to wake up and you get up despite of not feeling energetic enough. You walk to your window and look outside to the new day and then you look at your watch. It says 11.30 pm. It is not yet the morning! You wake up a bit more and realise that the day light is actually an artificial light source nearby, which has been upgraded to a fancy flood light. May be a hoarding by a new commercial. What will you do?”
My class is very active and quick.
“Put the curtains and go back to sleep.”, piped an answer from a corner. We all had a laugh.
“Ah! Yes.” The professor smiled and continued.
“Let us change the perspective for a while, shall we. We have watches and curtains. What about the ones who depend totally on light for their activities?”
There was a silence for thought. The professor said, “Come on, tell me who all can be affected!”
“Birds”, said a student.
“Bats. They wake at the night.”,added another.
It just took us some more push of thought to add owls, bugs and spiders to the list.
Professor loved looking at us struggle with thought processes.
“Well. If birds wake up early to hunt, and the worms are not awake yet, they will come back empty.” , thought a student aloud.
“But, if birds woke up early and got lost, isn’t there a possibility of them to get tired and may be collapse due to exhaustion? “ another student added.
“Well. That cannot be right. We do not see such stuff happening. Do we?” I asked with scepticism.
The professor smiled.
“Well, let me tell you what happened and what is in the news. In 2008, the Tucker County High School in West Virginia witnessed hundreds of birds crashing on the brightly lit school, when it was still dark. Within minutes the whole school was a massacre scene for birds.”
“Did they give a holiday to the students?” asked a jovial student. The class laughed.
“Oh! It was worse than that! They had to make sure that the place does not carry some bird related diseases. Actually, these phenomenon are widely studied, and these effects are classified under Light Pollution. Birds are not the only ones getting affected. You see, the darkness has its own life. A study conducted by Daniel Lewanzik from the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife research in Berlin showed that light pollution slows down the regrowth of the forests. Nocturnal bats are better pollinators than birds and they get scared due to excessive light, not coming out. Fruit eating bats are very good seed dispensers as their droppings contain both seeds and manure. These problems on ecology are well documented. A scientific report by FWRI scientist Blair E. Witherington and R. Erik Martin of Ecological Associates Inc. shows that new born sea turtles have a tendency to go towards brighter areas immediately after hatching, which in a typical natural lit beach will be towards the sea, where the night sky is lit by stars and moon. But in a not so natural beach, the turtles will tend to walk towards the brighter side, which will not be towards the water, and hence eventually perish. These are very few to mention effects on environment. The overuse of unnatural light disturbs bugs, insects, birds, animals, amphibians and even humans.”
The class was silent. They never had thought that artificial light can be so disastrous for other organisms.
“Why do we humans on day to day basis not feel such extreme effects?” I was curious.
“Good Question”, replied Professor. “It is just that we humans are better at adapting due to our advancements in medicines which give us an advantage over animals. We can of course pull our curtains and go back to sleep, we have a good productive life! Very comfortable, with all the fancy lights. We also have the advantage to be indifferent and overlook how all the less evolved organisms suffer. But we even have a very special gift just by being a human. We have empathy. Empathy to the weak. We can feel the pain of others and choose not to be indifferent. We can adjust our comforts, dim our lights a bit, so that the weak ones can also live in peace.”
The bell rang. There was a pause. No one moved.
The Professor sighed. He added with a smile, “Well, it is a choice we can make, to be indifferent or to have empathy , which leaves us all with a question. With we being celebrators of festival of Light, do we actually use light wisely? Class dismiss.

Hello friends, we are now working more on using CSR as tool for managing our waste. We have done a innovative decentralized waste management project which also gives incentives.
Please look into the link...I hope this is the only solution to make our surroundings clean and most important in controlled expense
We have done this low cost project in Banswara Syntex limited which was super success and now we are doing the projects in Banswara town as CSR activity. The low cost project processed almost 1000 kg of waste/day without any big machinery. This can be best method if to be done in colony, villages etc.
Looking forward for your comments
Team,
We recently installed Fully automatic organic waste converter ( 24 hrs time to convert waste to manure ).We connected the outlet pipe to the drain network as per supplier recommendation, but burning smell and gas leak from the nearest drains point.
Need technical expertise to managed the exhaust fumes coming out of the waste converter.
whether we need to install exhaust , Type of exhaust required, height .... ?
Please write mail to me for more details
Please share your experience
