The first step for boosting recyclable material use in Kanpur is to raise awareness and to let people understand how a person’s everyday choices are affecting the environment. Simple actions could be taken towards this change. For instance, setting up a recycling station at our home will be fun and educational and we could have separate bins with labels for different kinds of trash. It’s a simple and easy change we could adapt to our daily lifestyle. Schools could also be the masters of this change by teaching the students about recycling and encouraging them towards this change. Local businesses also play an important role in this journey. Instead of using plastic bags, they could use recyclable packaging. Organising community events like recycling drives or clean-up days can bring people together and foster a sense of pride in keeping our Kanpur clean. When people feel involved in these changes and see their benefits, it will lead to cleaner streets, lesser pollution and economic savings. In this way recycling becomes more than just a task, instead it becomes a way of life that benefits everyone. We should inspire and involve others by telling others about using recyclable materials in their lives. Every little change adds up and together we can make a big difference for our city, Kanpur.
