India generates around 60 million tonnes of garbage every single day and almost 45 million tonnes, a whopping 75%, of the garbage are dumped untreated in the landfills. Delhi and Mumbai together generate about 10 million tonnes of garbage every day. If we do not reduce waste and generate it at current rate, India will need 1,240 hectares of land, which is the size of a metropolitan city like Bengaluru, to dump country’s waste. The situation is alarming and needs everyone to start taking immediate action to deal with the garbage problem. First step is to reduce the waste being generated at individual level.
