CHURCH ON ENVIRONMENT
WHAT DOES POPE SAYS
“The environment is God’s gift to everyone, and in our
use of it we have a responsibility toward the poor,
towards future generations and toward humanity as a
whole” (Pope Benedict XVI- Courtesy: Petrus, Sep.09)
)2009)
WHAT DOES BOMBAY
ARCHDIOCESAN SYNOD 2001SAYS
In his Pastoral letter on Synod 2001,
Cardinal Ivan Dias writes:
“I appeal to Catholics in our
Archdiocese to respect the flora
and fauna in our “natural”
surroundings to be alert to
problems relating to environmental
issues and together with citizens
of other faiths or of no faith at
all, to participate in initiatives
meant to keep our neighbourhoods
clean and free from pollution”
(Post Synodal Document – page 43)
ISSUES OF URBAN SOLID
WASTE – INDIA SHINING?
INDIA WILL WIN NOBEL FOR FILTH, SAYS RAMESH
“If there is a Nobel prize for dirt and filth, India will win it
hands down. There is no competition for that and we
have to do something dramatic on municipal solid waste”
Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh (courtesy: TOI,
Nov. 21, 2009)
ISSUES OF URBAN SOLID WASTE – INDIA
SHINING?

With increasing urbanization and changing life styles, Indian cities now
generate 8 times more solid waste than they used to in 1947.

This is due to

increase in the number of urban dwellers and

increase in the amount of waste generated per capita.

generation of waste per capita increases from 1 to 1.33 % per year.

Not only have quantities increased, but also the constitution of the
wastes - Quantities of plastic matter are 70 times higher than in the
1960s.

Throughout the country, more than 1/3rd of all waste generated
remains uncleared on the streets and what is collected is dumped in
insanitary dumpsites polluting ground water and degrading the
environment.
SOLID WASTE SCENARIO AT
MUMBAI/NAVI MUMBAI/THANE






Thousands of tons of waste is generated daily
Hundreds of Crores of Tax Payers’ money is spent in
transporting waste to the dumping grounds, besides
increasing air pollution by the garbage carrying vehicles.
Accumulated garbage on the road side bins causes
stray dog menace, floods, various decease like dengue,
Malaria and so on.
Unsegregated waste dumped in dumping grounds
poses threat to environment contaminating ground water
table and destroying the ecosystems.
Recyclable material goes waste resulting in loss of
national income, besides losing thousands of tons of wet
garbage which can be used to produce fertile Manure.
Hundreds of acres of land is used as dumping grounds.
MUMBAI/NAVI MUMBAI/THANE ARE
OVERFLOWING WITH GARBAGE
GENERATED BY YOU AND ME
Plastic waste strewn all over the land …..
……..
and Water bodies
In desperation and ignorance people burn accumulated
garbage which produces Toxic fumes.
Are we solving the problem or creating more?
Plastics burning results in Air and soil pollution and
release of carcinogenic Dioxins and Furans
AS RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS
AND COMMITTED CATHOLICS
WHAT CAN WE DO?
Encourage Community participation to work
towards a garbage free society by initiating
waste management techniques such as
‘Zero Waste’.
Our SCCs, Women’s Groups, Civic/Political
Cells, Bombay Catholic Sabha units can
play a crucial role, and make a difference!
OPTIONS BEFORE US
TRADITIONAL VS.
MODERN
TRADITIONAL
Total reliance on Municipality
But can Municipality cope up? NO
MODERN
Public Private partnership i.e. by Sharing
of responsibility between public, private
and voluntary sectors.
ZERO GARBAGE MEANS…
Reducing the volume of generation of
garbage by using the method of
SEGREGATION OF GARBAGE
AT SOURCE.
Segregation at source means separating the
wet and dry garbage in the kitchen itself.
Two bins are kept in the kitchen for wet
garbage and dry garbage separately.
Which is wet and which is dry garbage? See

BENEFITS OF ZERO WASTE




Valuable recyclable
materials will not be wasted
at dumping grounds.
Conversion of wet garbage
into manure, nature’s wealth
being restored.
Cleaner roads, lesser
pollution
And many more…..
3 STEPS TO ATTAINING ZERO GARBAGE.
FIRST STEP
1. AWARENESS / EDUCATION


Handouts, PowerPoint Presentation, street
plays, group meetings and so on
Key points explaining:






What is segregation of garbage at source?
Which is wet and dry garbage?
Which is Recyclable & Biodegradable garbage?
What are the benefits of segregation?
What is Composting?
How to make your society a ‘zero garbage’
society?
3 STEPS TO ATTAINING ZERO GARBAGE.
STEP 2
2. TRIAL SEGREGATION




Daily segregation at source by each family
– wet and dry in two separate bins.
Society circular to ensurecompliance.
Daily monitoring by the team.
Review and correction of families who fail to segregate.
3 STEPS TO ATTAINING ZERO GARBAGE
STEP 3
–
3. ACHIEVE TOTAL ZERO GARBAGE
After successful trial segregation, the society
workers will be instructed to dump all the wet
waste from the residents in the Society
Compost Pit or Neighbourhood Compost Pit (As
Planned Beforehand).
COMPOSTING
The wet garbage collected from all the flats
of your society will be dumped in the
compost Pit. Over it Spray EM (Effective
Micro Organism) Solution daily. EM solution
prevents smell and speeds
up the decomposition process.
There are also NGOs who train the housing
society workers/residents on the method of
Composting more scientifically ( see later)
COMPOSTING-AT YOUR OWN
HOME
It is ideal if all the residents of the society segregate their household
Waste and join the ‘zero garbage project’. But for some reasons if this is
not possible, you can compost your daily wet waste at your own home.
HOW?
Daily shift the wet garbage from your small kitchen bin to a bigger plastic
bucket kept a the terrace, balcony or courtyard. Spray the activated EM
solution daily. It will take long time to get your bucket full, since the wet
garbage keep on reducing its volume as it keeps on decomposing. After
2-3 months use another, bucket. Keep the earlier bucket idle till its
contents dries and turns into powdery form. This is the fertile manure
your are looking out for. This can be used for your home grown plants or
housing society plants, or even can be sold!
WHAT IS EM SOLUTION?
EM, in short, is Effective Micro-organism. It
is a liquid solution of effective micro
organism. Activated EM solution (see next
slide) should be sprayed daily over the wet
garbage. This would speed up the
decomposition process and prevents the
smell. (More details on EM solution are
available on the net, refer ‘maple EM1
solution’).
ACTIVATION OF EM
SOLUTION
INGREDIENTS
 1 liter Concentrated Maple - EM1 Solution.
 18 liters of clean water.
 1 kg of jaggery/molasses.
PROCEDURE
Take a 20 liter capacity bucket. Fill 18 liters of clean water, 1 liter concentrated
EM solution and 1 Kg of jaggery. Stir the water till all ingredients dissolve
completely in the water. Close the bucket with an air tight cover and place it at
a dark place (away from the sunlight). Daily open the cover of the bucket to
release the gas. In 5-7 days, the surface of the contents in the bucket will be
covered by whitish substance. This means, the EM is now Activated, and is
ready for use.
WHERE MAPLE EM1
SOLUTION IS AVAILABLE?
Concentrated Maple EM 1 solution is
available at Pune, and may be
received by currier services.

LARGE HOUSING SOCIETIES
In a large Housing societies
or institutions, naturally,
the generation of garbage
will be much higher.
In such cases, residents
can go for many Ecofriendly projects, besides
ZERO GARBAGE which can
save the Mother Earth.

QUESTIONS FOR GROUP
DISCUSSION
(you may adapt the questions depending the type of group
participating)
Q1. There are people who say, the environmental issues like solid
waste management is the problem of government. It is not citizens’
problem. Comment.
Q. 2 – In civic/political issues like zero garbage, we may have to involve
people of all faiths in our neighbourhood/housing society. What are
some of the hurdles you are expected to face. How do you overcome
them?
Q. 3 – After today's, session, what is your suggested for follow-up –
Example - this group meeting periodically or any other?
