There’s an old saying that we do not inherit the earth from ancestors but rather borrow it from our children. When considering the way that we are choking the good earth with the quantity of waste we generate daily, it appears that we are ruining it for them.
To reverse this ill trend Clean Coonoor as of late has been arranging a series of tours around the waste management facility for school and college goers, in a bid that the mistakes made by this generation will not be made by the next.
Today’s facility tour was for aspiring civil engineering students of CSI College of Engineering, Ketti Valley. It is quite encouraging to learn that SWM has been made a part of their curriculum.
The focus was on minimisation of waste rather than on the more expensive option of management, for reducing what you throw away, is the first step to saving the planet.
