About this Discussion

Every year, an estimated 11.2 billion tonnes of solid waste is collected worldwide and decay of the organic proportion of solid waste contributes about 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Poor waste management – ranging from non-existing collection systems to ineffective disposal – causes air pollution, water and soil contamination. Open and unsanitary landfills lead to contamination of drinking water and can cause infection and transmit diseases. 

The way a country manages its solid waste has significant long-term implications for public health, the economy and the environment. Therefore, it is essential to promote an environmentally sound solid waste treatment and disposal programme. Investing in greening the waste sector can generate multiple economic and environmental benefits. 

Greening the waste sector primarily involves the three “R’s” – reduce, reuse and recycle – with the long-term vision being to establish a circular economy in which the use of materials and subsequent waste is limited, most unavoidable waste is recycled or remanufactured, and any remaining waste is treated so as to minimize environmental damage or even create additional value through recovering energy embedded in material or products.

I am drafting this project file with a preliminary vision to provide you with brief idea about of my emotions, feelings, duty and responsibility towards the universe, nature and the mother Earth. 01st of March 2021 was the 253rd day in straight row to offer my services free of any charges or financial aid.
I have shared couple of videos, images and stories via Facebook and Instagram, but due to the length of the videos and its heavy content, few of the videos I have uploaded on YouTube platform. Furthermore, I wish to share this message to my brothers, sisters and everyone on this planet, also those hanging up in space stations and some others submerged in marines in deep oceans. I am reaching out to you with the full intentions and pleading request to act now and restore faith in humanity. We must unite to save our future, the legacies created, the landmarks embarked by our ancestors, and the fruitful future of our innocent children.
Past two years has been very stressful years of my life, as this time I was engaged in learning life, uncovering myths, truth behind the masks of people, travel, poetry, songs, charity, volunteering and so on, and this Covid19 pandemic brought major changes in my life. I must say in those beautiful 253 days I have evolved physically, mentally and spiritually, these days taught me how to love myself whilst caring and loving the nature and the people around me, the oceans have taught me to be humble, more kind and that’s what it is called as good 253 days of retreat which everyone needs now. I am so grateful and thankful to the blessed 253 days and looking forward to, many more days and years to come ahead, and the research says a true and honest author or the poet will never lie at any stage of his life or time and that’s the reason may be most of my poems, writings and thoughts and quotes are in so much provoking the minds of people as it’s the truth and only the one who is real will have the guts to face and embrace it
Here I am drafting the references which have always inspired me from my childhood.
कर्मण्ये वाधिका रस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन। मा कर्म फल हेतु र्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्व कर्मणि॥
Karmanye vadhika raste, Ma phaleshu kadachana Ma karma phala he tur bhuh, ma te sangotsva karmanye 'karmanye vadhika raste, Ma phaleshu kadachana' is famous shloka from Gita. Lord Krishna explains to Arjuna the theory of Karmas. He said believe in yourself and do your Karma (action) and success will follow you automatically. Doing Karma is in our hands only, Result is not in our hands. Below given is meaning of famous Shloka from Bhagavad Gita. You have a right to “Karma” (actions) but never to any Fruits thereof. You should never be motivated by the results of your actions, nor should there be any attachment in not doing your prescribed activities. And the only expectations I have and the things I need in return for the gift to this universe are;
ॐ सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः । सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु मा कश्चिद्दुःखभाग्भवेत् । ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥
