I did an internship back in 2008 with the Centre for Development Finance, IFMR in Chennai India, where I saw people on the ground that were working hard to solve a seemingly impossible problem. This issue has always been top of mind since then, as I've lived outside India for 2 decades but continue to visit regularly. Every time I go back, I see small positive changes in cleanliness and hygiene. This inspires me to do what I can, however small.

2. This article shows the number of companies that are working toward sustainable solutions for India's waste crisis. I trust in their abilities to decide their solutions, however I do believe communications will play a vital role in getting to community to embrace their part in achieving a cleaner society.

3. I was inspired by Hindustan Unilever's ability to tap into and create a distribution network in notoriously complicated rural markets in India. The attached HBR article talks a little bit about how they did this. This case study inspires me to believe that there may be a way to tap into the disorganized labor market and pull them into the waste management effort in a real and financially sustainable way- a win/win for all parties involved, and a big win for the environment.

While it is entertaining and effective to someone like me who understands the reference, it may not reach the average person. The tactic however, is still effective- just needs to be localized and targeted toward its audience better. ]]> 2021-05-21 04:29:51 UTC https://padlet.com/menond89/pcht4tnd1esjamrb/wish/1546622724 menond89 https://padlet.com/menond89/pcht4tnd1esjamrb/wish/1546634763 This creative and enterprising gentleman created an entire theme park from solid waste!
