Waste Segregation

Waste Segregation

When we step out of our homes, the one thing we can’t fail to notice is waste being thrown everywhere. The fact is that, most of the waste we generate, like the biodegradable ones can be recycled. Many can be up-cycled into usable products. karthavyam students believe that a major transformation can happen when each one of us practice waste segregation. So, they have started two initiatives; Garbage school and KUPPE to educate people about waste segregation. This page contains the student stories on this issue. Mathew Jose of Paperman is one of the advisors for students to understand the problem of waste segregation in a deeper way.
