A path to reduce waste and wastage

The world produces 2 billion tons of trash each day. In India, 72% of waste is generated by megacities, making a clear link between consumption and waste.

For each ton of waste, there is 71 times the discard, from manufacturing, mining, oil, gas, and coal burning

Poor management practices such as burning make India’s emissions nearly double the Asia average. Our carbon footprint can be reduced with wise consumer choices: frugality, repair, and saying no to single-use plastics and aluminum foil.
