Freedom Park in Bangalore is an open space generally used for political or social or demonstrations. I took the kids to see an exhibition that had set up there for a week on the garbage problem in Bangalore. I had been reading The Time of India newspaper everyday and there were lots of articles on the growing problem of garbage in Bangalore. Not only are they producing a massive volume of waste, not much of it is being separated out to compost or recycle what they can. Local parks and green spaces are being used to hold the overwhelming volume of garbage. The exhibition was trying to educate Bangaloreans to separate compost and recyclables. Soon there will be 3 stations around the city to receive recyclables. Compost is hopefully going to be dealt with by individuals...I'm not sure what that is suppose to look like for the many people who live in tiny cement buildings all in a row with a road hard up on one side and an alley on the other. Check out the picture that has the comparison of waste usage in Vancouver and Bangalore. Also, the picture below with the garbage in the dirt was taken less than 100 metres from the exhibition, in a corner of Freedom Park. There is a lot of work to be done to change things in Bangalore.
These are all great ways to get rid of food waste and garbage! Avoid the landfill though, I am not in support of those.
