Earth Day Reflections (18 Apr 2021 9_38_13 pm)

# data[].attributes.body
I have been mindful about avoiding waste since I was a little girl. It was something we practiced at home as a family tradition. When I came upon the idea of an Eco-brick, it was like a piece of puzzle falling into place. I found a way to sustainably use the waste that would have ended up burning in a dump or in a landfill. I am so glad we have all taken up this initiative because this makes us all  personally responsible in waste management! I have started with a 2 litre plastic bottle( which is taking a lot of time to fill!) but it's also contributing to my happiness, knowing that each bit of plastic in the bottle is that much less plastic outside. My goal is to experiment making an Ottoman seat with the Ecobricks first (fingers crossed!).
This activity has brought me so much joy, I can't wait to see how it turns out!
Happy Earth Day to all!

It's really been an exciting activity for me as this was always a part of my growing up. Since I was a child, my parents instilled in me that whenever we travelled we must carry a spare bag and put all the wrappers, empty bottles etc. there. So I felt really proud for contributing towards waste management and practicing sustainability in everyday life!

ना तेरी ना मेरी, ये धरती हम सब की माता है , इसकी स्वच्छता से हमारा गहरा नाता है I
ये करती सभी आवश्यकताएँ हमारी पूरी , पर  लालच  को  ना  पूरा  कर  पाती
प्लास्टिक की थैलियों से ढक दी है हमने  इस माँ की छाती , हमने ही प्रकृति को किया प्रदूषित
पहले थी ये हँसती-मुस्कराती ,हमने इसकी मुस्कुराहट है छिनी, आज यह खुल कर साँस भी नहीं है ले पाती जैसे मनुष्यों की साँस है कोरोना से है रुक जाती I हमने भी आज से अब से यह है ठान लिया प्लास्टिक को समेट कर हम करेंगे तेरी मुस्कान वापिस I

An Ecobrick is a plastic bottle packed with used plastic to a set density. They serve as reusable building blocks. Ecobricks can be used to produce various items, including furniture, garden walls and other structures.

I still remember the day when we decided all of us will make an eco-brick, I was really excited for making the same. Little did I know making an eco-brick requires a lot patience. It was an absolutely enriching experience.
Eco bricks are a great idea to reduce plastic pollution that contaminates the ecosystems that sustain us and our fellow species.   Eco bricks can be used to build furniture, gardens, play parks, structures and more. The only limit is our imagination.
As William Wordsworth has rightly said “Nature never did betray the heart that loved her.”
So let’s join hands together on this Earth Day and make our planet as beautiful as it is meant to be.
