The PJ (poor joke) above might no longer remain a PJ if banana peel is replaced by a typical problematic situation one encounters in daily routine. The question remains unanswered then: Why do some people find it difficult to act beyond cure? They do think 'Prevention is The Best Cure' though! I was no different from them! But now my journey is gathering speed, hopefully in the direction that the blog is supposed to drive towards. Checkout my other blogs and work at http://www.worldOFkaizen.com/

Do You Celebrate Mean-or-Green

My Mad-ness.. Bad-ness.. Goodness ... !

5000 km long queue of trucks full of solid-waste everyday by cities alone?

Wonder how much got added to the normal daily-garbage during a typical Diwali festival-day in India?: The crackers, the aesthetic components of primary & secondary wrappers of chocolates, sweetmeats, etc. gone into garbage!


How much does such madness of generating waste cost?

In 2010, it costed equivalent of Pakistan's GDP i.e. it costed $ 205 billion to deal with just the solid-waste world-over!

How much does other kind of waste cost?: 
I don't know the answer.

How much does land quality get deteriorated?:
I don't know the answer.

How much does such waste impact other environmental aspects such as contamination of drinking water, air, depletion of energy resources used to dispose the waste, etc?:
I don't know the answer.

How much does it cost and will it cost in terms of health issues in future?:
I don't know the answer.


Many such questions rise like smoke!

It may be easier to find answers if the questions are like 'smoke of a fire in seed-stage' kind problems. Unfortunately the smoke is of 'the fire that is already a wildly raging one' that has reached beyond human control. 

Google search may help find the answers. But the answers so far have been inadequate and incomplete! Research had been unable to keep pace with pace of problems rising due to consumerism! Queue of the garbage trucks otherwise wouldn't have been so long equivalent of covering aerial distance between London and NewYork.

By the time Newtons and Einsteins of the world perform difficult part of finding well-researched inventive-solutions, the only proven 'Zero-Garbage' action everyone can easily participate in to prevent waste is to make their celebrations innovatively Green!


Let's celebrate and recognize each such person who celebrates Green, each such day and each such moment that is celebrated Green!


Here's a MaiKu© poem while on the subject:

Rain Goddess lost destination
It's all raining perspiration
Cause lack of Green Celebration


©MaiKu Is My-Haiku
Freely ideate it's poetic rhymes
Any objective topic it chimes
