SOME SMALL STEPS YOU CAN TAKE TO MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE:-
Separate your waste into 4 groups- kitchen waste, paper waste, plastic waste and non-recyclable waste. Make compost out of your kitchen waste(read below for instructions)
Recycle your plastics.
Reuse boxes(look down to know how)
Grow ozone repair trees(they cost about 20/- to 30/-. You can find them at forest departments.) This would be a good gift/return gift.
