 IMPORTANT TOPICS TO DISCUSS

1) What is the need of clean & Green community?

2) Consequences of disavowing Cleanliness?

3) Need of verdancy?

4)Sustainable waste Management:

5)Promoting Eco-friendly practices:

What is the need of Clean & Green community?

• A clean and green community reflects the life of community itself, its pleasant
and prosperous in the first place
• Prevents our children playing in the ground from getting affected with
infections and diseases
• Provides a sustainable habitat for animals to thrive
• Attracts people towards the community and inspires them to make their own
ones like that
• Reduces the air pollution, each breath we take will feel pure and light
• Promotes sustainable development by implementing eco-friendly infrastructure,
renewable energy sources, and efficient waste management systems
• Clean and green communities play a crucial role in mitigating climate change.
Consequences of disavowing
Cleanliness:
• Mostly importantly, if it’s a place, a community or even a town, it
doesn’t matter, if it avoids cleanliness it gives rise to an unsightly and
unkempt impression of that place. It tarnishes the visual appeal of that
particular place.
• Spreading of infections and diseases (especially among children and
senior citizens)
• Affects the vegetation of the area
• Soil quality will be affected due to the large amount garbage(non-
decomposable)
• Accumulation of waste in the area contributes to air pollution, adversely
affecting the overall air quality and creating an unpleasant environment
• Domestic animals suffer the most as they left with a environment where
they need to feed on polluted air, water and land.
Need of verdancy:
• “verdancy” refers to a green environment i.e., the one filled with vegetation
and plant life
• Maintains ecological balance by contributing to oxygen production, carbon
dioxide absorption, and the purification of the air we breathe.
• Verdant areas provide habitats for a wide array of plant and animal species,
supporting biodiversity and fostering a thriving ecosystem.
• Green environment offers spaces for relaxation, recreation, and physical
activity, reducing stress levels and enhancing mental well-being.
• Verdancy adds beauty and visual appeal to landscapes, transforming dull
environments into vibrant spaces.
• The presence of vegetation helps prevent soil erosion by holding the soil in
place with their root systems.
• Trees also play huge role in maintaining proper temperature and climatic
control.
Sustainable Waste Management:

Recycling:
• Encourage community members to separate recyclable materials such as paper,
plastic, glass, and metal.
• Raise awareness about the benefits of recycling, such as conserving natural
resources and reducing energy consumption.
• Collaborate with local recycling facilities or programs to establish convenient
drop-off points for recyclable items.
Waste Reduction:
• Encourage the adoption of practices like minimizing food waste through meal
planning and proper storage.
• Promote the use of reusable items like cloth bags, water bottles, and coffee cups
to reduce single-use plastics.
• Advocate for responsible packaging choices and support local businesses that
prioritize sustainable packaging alternatives.
Promoting Eco-friendly Practices:
Sustainable Transportation:

• Advocate for alternatives to single-occupancy vehicles, such as carpooling, public transportation,

walking, or cycling.
• Work with local authorities to improve public transportation infrastructure and accessibility.
• Organize community bike-sharing programs or carpool matching platforms to encourage shared
mobility.

Plastic Reduction:

• Raise awareness about the harmful impacts of single-use plastics on the environment and
wildlife.
• Encourage residents to switch to reusable alternatives like cloth bags, stainless steel straws, and
food containers.
• Engage local businesses to reduce or eliminate the use of plastic bags, straws, and packaging
through voluntary initiatives or policy changes.
Eco-friendly Products:
 Promote the use of eco-friendly and non-toxic cleaning products, personal care items, and household goods.

 Collaborate with local businesses to increase the availability of environmentally friendly products in the community.

 Organize workshops or demonstrations on DIY natural cleaning and personal care product recipes.
 What are the best ways to keep the earth clean?
 Why do I have to help the environment?
 Are there any specific areas or issues in the community that require more attention in
terms of cleanliness?
 Do you have any suggestions or ideas on how to encourage more community
involvement in keeping the area clean and green?
 What resources or tools would make your job as a sweeper easier and more effective?
 Is there anything else you would like the community to know or understand about your
role as a sweeper?
 How do you handle situations where people may not respect or appreciate your
efforts?
 Have you witnessed any positive changes in behavior or attitudes towards cleanliness
within the community over time?
Contrasting Landscapes:
In the previous slide, you saw two different landscapes. One showing the area with a lot of
vegetation and trees and others with cut and burnt trees.The differences between these two
landscapes:
• Environmental Impact:
The vegetation landscape contributes to a healthier environment by producing oxygen, absorbing
carbon dioxide, and regulating the water cycle through transpiration. In contrast, the barren
landscape may contribute to soil degradation, increased erosion, and limited ecological support.
• Colors and vibrancy:
The vegetation landscape is visually appealing and vibrant whereas the second landscape
appears dull and monotonous, lacking any vibrant colors or visual interest.
• Aesthetics and Refreshment:
The vegetation landscape offers a visually pleasing and calming environment. Conversely, the
barren landscape may evoke a sense of desolation or emptiness, lacking the aesthetic appeal and
recreation.
• Productivity and Resources:
The vegetation landscape offers various resources and benefits to humans, such as food
crops, medicinal plants, timber etc…whereas the barren landscape lacks these productive
resources, limiting its potential for sustenance and human utilization.
