Hindustan Times, Mumbai, Mar,
2017 : An international school in Mumbai is doing
its part to help the city reduce its waste. The school has recycled more than
3,000kg garbage on its campus in just six months, preventing it from being sent
to overburdened landfills. About 100 students and staff of Dhirubhai Ambani
International School, Bandra Kurla Complex, are part of the drive to compost
15kg vegetable waste daily and convert it into manure. The efforts are
spearheaded by 25 students of Prakruti, the school’s eco-club. About 80kg
compost is generated a month, which is used to nurture the campus grounds.
