I am not sure if this followed in any country or not. If not, let our India be the first. My idea is for cleanliness and better facilities at railway stations. If we allow only ticket holders to enter the railway stations then that will provide multiple benefits. First, it will reduce unnecessary rush, second cleanliness, third better management, fourth increased revenue as there will be no entry for without ticket passengers and there will be many more. If implemented it will do wonders for us.

On an average 33%of waste generated is recycled in the US.we too do it but not as a regulated industry.This Government can very well do it.Garbage Trucks can be made available to gram panchayats and they can be involved in collecting,disposal and other activities run on PPP mode.

I learnt that landfills, combustion used to treat waste at very high temperatures can generate electricity and it also reduced waste.Why dont we try this--we dispose waste and get electricity as byproduct --it is awesome.

Garbage Disposal.Organic waste mainly kitchen waste need not have to weigh down our disposal bags.We dont have garbage disposal in the first hand.Then we do not dispose off decomposing and non decomposing in different ways.If we too do it on a national level i think it would be wonderful.Oflate we have started doing it in our campus.But still we dont know what to do with solid and plastic waste.Plastic bags are an eye sore in our Indian cities.

Manure Application Calendar is one of comprehensive method of applying manure produced from waste that has been collected from cattle.Nov.to mid April manure sh. go into storage & not to fields.Mid April to Mid June they bother to apply manure before planting.Mid june to August inject liquid manure between rows of crops which i am not sure we do?Sep., to Oct. applying farm manure to annual crop lands.Hence they use both solid, liquid waste in a planned measured way.Clean surroundings maintained

Capture Rain Water from rooftops is yet another innovative step to keep city clean, provide safe drinking water and is helpful to environment besides avoiding wastage of water.unnecessarily we are using potable water for toilets and gardens.Instead we can use such water harvested from rooftops for those purposes.TN boasts of some good work in Rain Water Harvest.

Green Infrastructure is an amazing idea i came across.Many of the cities in the US estimate that the cities every year nearly 10 trillion gallons of untreated storm water runs off on roads parking lots into sewage systems into rivers.Ultimately the people will be drinking it.So they came out with innovative solution.Green roofs,street trees,rain gardens,permeable pavement--that is green infrastructure.
