Rubbish!
- Start with the most important of them all - segregate. Yeah for starters "it'll all get mixed later" is true, but keep doing it anyway.
- Lets send out as little organic waste in the bins as we can. Compost at home ?
- Reduce the "throw the trash out" frequency to a third of what it is ? Given that 60-70% is organic, this should be doable!
- Get into the recycling food chain. I'm gonna try and find out resources on this and update, for Bangalore.
- As communities, explore biogas options ? What are those usable for ?

"Alternative for waterproofing?"
- The usage of plastics in packing, shipping etc, must come at a cost thats reflective of its entire lifecycle, and the indirect costs in terms of landfills, health issues, loss of agricultural land, etc, so that
- alternatives are explored
- the need is pondered upon real hard on a case by case basis. A Bangalore delivery, in winter, by courier, wrapped in a very sturdy and "minor splash resistant" cardboard box, when the forecast indicates no rain - will probably not qualify if the cost barrier is not kept artificially low like it currently is.
