Good news, no. 4: One man’s trash is another’s treasure- Kashmir’s village offers gold for plastic!
By living up to the idea “One man’s trash is another’s treasure,” Sadiwara, a village in Jammu and Kashmir, has set an example.
The village head offers one gold coin for every 20 quintals of polythene waste brought to the panchayat. As soon as the clean-up mission got underway, villagers came together to collect household plastic waste and prevent it from being dumped into fields and waterways.
“While the government and state administrations place a lot of emphasis on cleanliness, the mission can only be achieved if citizens contribute”, said the village headman Farooq Ahmad Ganaie. An environmentalist himself, Farooq started advocating for cleaner spaces by convincing the villagers to build garbage pits in their houses rather than the disposal of solid waste.
Khush Khabri no. 5: ‘Scan My Collar’ now, your Paw-Buddy will get its UID
A Mumbai-based engineer and dog lover, Akshay Ridlan, created tags using QR code technology to track stray dogs. The man behind the idea aims to give people these tags at a nominal price to increase the technology’s reach.
“It will also help the government find dogs’ locations and make strategies for their sterilisation or vaccination. It can be done through the database. We want to offer this QR at a nominal price right now. People and organisations that feed or rescue animals can use this,” Akshay stated, reported NDTV.’
