This IITian hasn’t bought an LPG cylinder in 7 years—and the reason is unbelievable. By turning his neighbour’s kitchen waste into cooking gas, Priyadarshan built a biodigester that powers his stove for free. From waste to fuel, he’s saved thousands of cylinders and inspired hundreds of homes. We throw waste and pay for gas. He flipped the script. Would you try this sustainable switch or stick to LPG? #SustainableLiving #CleanEnergy #LPG #EcoInnovation #GreenIndia [LPG India, Food Waste Recycling, Biogas Technology India, Sustainable Cooking Solutions, Renewable Energy Innovation, Eco Friendly Living India]

Indian events—like weddings and religious functions—often leave behind a lot of waste, from leftover food to plastic litter. A simple solution is setting up an on-site “waste management pit,” where waste is segregated. Wet waste can be composted, while plastic and other materials are sent for recycling. This approach can reduce event waste by up to 50%, lowering environmental impact and easing pressure on sanitation systems. It’s cost-effective and easy to implement with basic planning. So, should every Indian event adopt this system?

What if a plastic bottle could buy a child a meal and a better future? In some schools across India, sustainability is becoming part of everyday learning. Through initiatives supported by Buy Food With Plastic India, metal collection bins have been installed where students can deposit used plastic bottles. These bottles are then sent for recycling, and in return, students receive free meals. The idea is simple but powerful. Teach children that waste has value, and they grow up respecting the planet.

#WATCH | Delhi | Prime Minister Narendra Modi raises concern over fast fashion waste, textile waste and says our textile industry can turn this worry into an opportunity He says, "Today, crores of clothes become out of use every month in the world. A large part of this is fast fashion waste. These are the clothes that people stop wearing due to changes in fashion or trends. These clothes are dumped in many parts of the world. This also poses a big threat to the environment and ecology. According to an estimate, by 2030, fashion waste will reach 148 million tons. Today, not even 1/4th of textile waste is being recycled. Our textile industry can turn this worry into an opportunity. In India, there are very diverse traditional skills in textile recycling, especially upcycling. For example, here we have rugs made from old or leftover clothes. Weavers and even women of the house make many types of rugs and coverings from such clothes. In Maharashtra, good blankets are also made from old and torn clothes. We can bring new innovations to these traditional vehicles and take them to the global market..."

🌐🆘Tisza: Tons of garbage are flowing from Ukraine to Hungary – extreme pollution again in February 2026. At the end of February 2026, the Tisza River is once again bringing huge amounts of garbage from Ukraine to Hungary, causing serious environmental damage downstream. According to footage shared on social media and in the Hungarian media, the flooded Tisza is carrying large piles of plastic bottles, PET bottles, plastic bags, branches and other municipal waste, which mainly comes from the Ukrainian side of the Carpathians. The Hungarian daily Magyar Nemzet reported on February 26, 2026, that “tons of garbage” (tonnaszámnyi koládek) are flowing into the country, with the largest share being plastic bottles. The portal reported on the same day that the river was carrying “several tons of waste” from Ukraine, with videos posted on social media showing the critical situation – the water literally “rolling” piles of plastic and debris towards the Hungarian-Ukrainian border, especially in the Balsa area of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county. This phenomenon is not new, but the February 2026 wave was exacerbated by the rapid melting of snow and ice in the Carpathians and heavy rains in Transcarpathia. The roots of the problem lie in the inadequate waste management system in the mountainous regions of Ukraine and in the fact that during floods, waste from banks, illegal landfills and directly dumped waste enters the rivers. Ukrainian sources (e.g. the Novini Zakarpattya telegram channel) confirm that intense thawing and rains have caused a sudden increase in the amount of floating waste. The Tisza has been one of the most polluted rivers in Europe with plastic waste for decades. Approximately half of the waste comes from Ukraine (mainly from the Transcarpathian region), the other half from Romania (via tributaries such as Someș/Szamos). The war and economic crisis in Ukraine have further worsened the situation - the waste collection and disposal system has collapsed in many places and landfills overflow directly into the rivers during floods. The Hungarian authorities - the National Water Management Administration (Országos Vízügyi Főigazgatóság, OVF) - started collecting waste upstream on 25-26 February 2026 using floating waste collection devices. However, a long-term solution requires international cooperation between Ukraine, Romania and Hungary, as pollution crosses borders. The Tisza originates in the pristine Carpathian Mountains, but by the time it reaches Hungary, it carries tons of municipal waste with it. The current wave once again highlights that protecting the ecological state of the river is a shared responsibility and that simply eliminating the consequences is not enough – prevention at the source is the key.

Clean Shores Today. Greener Tomorrow. 🌱🌊 Building the Mumbai Metropolitan Region of tomorrow means creating infrastructure that grows in harmony with nature. On the occasion of #WorldEnvironmentDay, MMRDA, through Maharashtra Nature Park, organised a special beach clean-up drive at Carter Road, Bandra West, reinforcing its commitment towards environmental sustainability and mangrove conservation. With active participation from Standard Chartered Bank and Swachh Vasundhara Abhiyaan volunteers, the initiative helped collect nearly 225 kg of plastic waste from the shoreline and mangrove areas, which has been sent for recycling. MMRDA also distributed indoor plants and encouraged citizens to adopt simple sustainable habits like reducing plastic use and choosing eco-friendly alternatives.

Clean Shores Today. Greener Tomorrow. 🌱🌊 Building the Mumbai Metropolitan Region of tomorrow means creating infrastructure that grows in harmony with nature. On the occasion of #WorldEnvironmentDay, MMRDA, through Maharashtra Nature Park, organised a special beach clean-up drive at Carter Road, Bandra West, reinforcing its commitment towards environmental sustainability and mangrove conservation. With active participation from Standard Chartered Bank and Swachh Vasundhara Abhiyaan volunteers, the initiative helped collect nearly 225 kg of plastic waste from the shoreline and mangrove areas, which has been sent for recycling. MMRDA also distributed indoor plants and encouraged citizens to adopt simple sustainable habits like reducing plastic use and choosing eco-friendly alternatives. Every small step towards protecting nature contributes to building a cleaner, greener and more sustainable Mumbai Metropolitan Region. 🌿 #WorldEnvironmentDay #MMRDA #MaharashtraNaturePark #CleanShores #GreenFuture #BeachCleanup #SustainableMumbai #PlasticFreeMumbai #SwachhVasundharaAbhiyaan CMO Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis Eknath Shinde - एकनाथ शिंदे Dr. Sanjay Mukherjee Majhi Vasundhara ⚪️ Standard Chartered India PIB in Maharashtra 🇮🇳 MAHARASHTRA DGIPR PIB India

In the past few days , 4 electricity accidents have taken place and 9 youngsters have died in them . With the Ganesh idol transportation and installation going on all over , some basic precautions have to be taken by the pandal organisers ,especially with the rains also going on. 📌water is a conductor of electricity, when a wooden stick is wet , it becomes a conductor too. So do not lift wires with wooden sticks thinking they are safe. 📌tall idols especially those with some metal wires at the top , if they get too close to the electric wires , the power may jump from the line to the idol , causing these accidents . Bandlaguda incident was due to this. So, I request all to spread this word and be extra careful while installing the idols and also during the festival time and also at your residences and work places.

She was all set to fly to the UK for her Master's. Instead, she moved to a tiny island with patchy internet, no recycling facility, and a growing waste crisis. When Garima Poonia visited Neil Island in the Andamans during a scuba-diving trip, she was shocked by what she saw. Plastic bottles, fishing nets, and piles of trash were washing up on beaches that were home to some of India's most stunning marine life. While most people would have moved on, Garima couldn't. Even after returning home, the sight of the waste haunted her. So when she secured admission to the University of Sussex, she made a difficult choice. She gave up her university seat and returned to the island with a mission. Starting from scratch, Garima went door-to-door, surveyed households, convinced resorts and local communities to segregate waste, and organised clean-up drives. She also launched the Kachrewaale Project, bringing together volunteers, divers, tourists, and residents. The impact? In less than six months, the island successfully began segregating waste at source and sending recyclables to mainland India for processing, a first for rural Andamans. This World Ocean Day, tell us what one small way you help protect the environment? #GarimaPoonia #AndamanIslands #WasteManagement #MarineConservation [World ocean day, Garima Poonia, Andaman Islands, Neil Island]
