Many people even labeled us bhangar wali, plastic wali, bottle wali (junk dealers),” says Namita Kapale, who, along with Kalyani Bharmbe, has built an eco-friendly house using 16,000 plastic water bottles.
Finding a meaningful use for excess #plastic waste, the duo# constructed the house in #SambhajiNagar near Daulatabad. They used cow dung, soil, plastic bottles, and 12-13 tonnes of non-recyclable plastic to build the house on a nearly 4,000 square feet field.

The team has been hard at work developing a #decentralized platform that allows users to access powerful #computing resources from anywhere in the world.
By leveraging #blockchain technology with @Avalanche #Subnet solutions, we created a network that is both fast and secure, ensuring that users can trust the platform with their most sensitive data and applications.
Transition towards a #sustainable (solarpunk) #future? Then we first have to rewrite the rules of the game. The creation of #money, political economics and its rules are designed in such way it will always concentrate power within the same elite.
It doesn’t matter much which #governance model you have as long as any system depends on so called neutral central #banks issuing money and commercial banks granting debt. You ll always have a system that creates #inequality, exploitation & destruction.
We should rewrite the rules, #monetary policy should be a key #political topic. I made this #comic once to show alternative rules about ownership of land, hoarding and speculation and land-use. A #Georgist approach.

Countries in the #tropics have been disproportionally impacted by #plasticpollution due to imports of #plasticwaste from developed countries, or because tropical Small Island Developing States have become overwhelmed by #singleuseplastics used widely in the tourism sector.

He, along with Jayesh Tope and Pushkaraj Salunke in January 2021, launched #RevampMoto which provides swappable attachments catering to customers' needs, making our vehicles truly transformable vehicles.
A ‘Made in India’ product, the Nashik-based startup 'RM Buddie 25' is accompanied by swiftly swappable attachments like a child seat, saddle stay and saddle bags, insulated box, carrier, base plate and base rack.

10-year-old Jalaj was curious about how efficiently waste can be used.
He kept thinking about the technology that helped #recycle and reuse it. Jalaj wondered how he could replicate the system in his own #environment.

First, Jalaj tackled the solid waste by building a toilet with a twin leach pit, with the help of his friends. A twin leach pit is a toilet that can manage faecal waste locally.
Here are some ways you can make your layout/apartment/gated community more water sustainable...🧵
Here’s the challenge:
In a layout, how can we convert water from an individual, private resource, to an #equitable resource?

Democracies are inherently not well suited for territorial and resource aggrandizement. But autocracies can be.
On the other hand, democracies ARE inherently well-suited for human rights and liberty. They are good in itself, but also promote scientific and economic development.

Democracy prevailed in the 1900s largely thanks to these advantages and the happy accident that the resources of the United States remained broadly speaking on the side of democracy when it really mattered.
There’s #conflict in change. And right now, we’re going through many changes. Shifts to #renewables, digitization, distributed systems, transparency etc.

“We made our own detachable battery box made of aluminium alloy. It’s anodised, which acts as a cooling paint. In Indian temperatures, when the battery heats up, the battery box absorbs and transmits the heat outside.

When #Delhi girl Priyanka Tiwari married in 2019, she shifted to a village called Rajpur in #Uttar Pradesh. Her first impression of the place was not pleasant.
@Priyanka_Rajpur
@Priyanka_Rajpur
The lack of a proper management system and functionalities in the village made it difficult to live in.
Improper waste management, damaged drains, and a lack of crematoriums were some of the issues.

Priyanka, a mass communication graduate, felt the urge to bring about changes in the whole area.
(1/5) Every year, millions of tons of farm #stubble and crop waste are burned in India — resulting in toxic, air-polluting #smog.
(2/5) Founded by #Pune-based siblings Shubham Singh and Himansha Singh, the #startup #Craste helps prevent this from happening by buying the stubble from farmers and creating products like tree-free #packaging and formaldehyde-free particle boards used to build #furniture.
(3/5) Craste does this through a patented proprietary process - Fumasolv - that separates three main components from crop waste, which are cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose.

“I received much more cow dung than I required in my farmland. That’s when I started thinking of an alternative for not letting it go to waste.”, says P Ganesan, an organic farmer who has been making #artefacts for the past five years, using nothing but cow dung and cow urine.
Hailing from Perungamanallur village in Madurai, 52-YO Ganesan has invented a unique and organic way of crafting handicrafts.
“I craft it by my hands. No machinery or mould is involved, and I don’t add ingredients other than cow dung and cow urine.
“I craft it by my hands. No machinery or mould is involved, and I don’t add ingredients other than cow dung and cow urine.
It is 100 per cent natural and eco-friendly.”
Currently, Ganesan makes over 150 different products, including utility and decorative items. A 6-foot tall Buddha statue made using 30 kg of #cowdung is one of their masterpieces created by him.

A sustainable finance taxonomy is a critical policy instrument for identifying if and to what extent economic activities contribute to international goals and national commitments aligned with the #ParisAgreement and/or the #SDGs. 🧵
Taxonomies can increase the #resilience of financial systems by enhancing the management of #sustainability risks and contribute to closing the funding gap for implementing #sustainableactivities.
There has been enormous momentum across the world to systematically integrate sustainability into financial decision making. However, channeling capital into sustainability-aligned investments requires a clear definition and common understanding of what qualifies as #sustainable
This afternoon, myself and others will set out the case for #planning reform.
