Can we have garbage being controlled by our policemen? Like liter fines? The fines are subject and taken according to the area. Like near schools where hygiene is most important, the fine is highest, fines for not dumping waste properly on highways, near playgrounds or tourist places. At least begin with policemen taking tough stance near those important places. Give importance to separating recycle waste like paper plastic cardboard and other regular waste.2 things:green india clean india achvd

Hi, I would like to research on this topic more however a very quick research gave me access to this PDF, which is quite comprehensive and indicates problems that are quite prevalent in our country. Hope this is useful. I will come back with more details http://www.unwater.org/downloads/EHB_Sanitation_EN_lowres.pdf

I am organising an event on "WASTE MANAGEMENT INDIA SUMMIT 2014 (https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=366684701&authType=NAME_SEARCH&authToken=tzC0&locale=en_US&trk=tyah2&trkInfo=tarId%3A1412089367350%2Ctas%3AWaste%20%2Cidx%3A2-1-4) to discuss and allow companies to network together for Govt new projects on INdia clean up and Waste Management activities/ projects in India in coming future. Participate to get idea more on govt projects/ opportunities and work in India which will be in future.

In Germany, everywhere you could see four colour bins-green, blue, yellow and brown meant to segregate glass, paper, packaging and bio-waste (organic substances) respectively. We can see these cans in every German household as well. This is a national color coding scheme for the bins in Germany. There is one more red or black colour called Restmüll (everything not covered by above but not including dangerous trash like batteries) The third picture is a typical sorting trashcan in public places

I believe in India implimentation of strict rules and fines is necessary for achieving this. Sometimes rules are the best way of educating the people. Aslo providing dustbins with creative signboards will attract peoples attention towards cleanliness.

When we have decided to clean our nation, we should follow the rules that western countries have implemented. Everyone is responsible for the surrounding areas of their dwellings. And tickets should be issued for not cleaning and maintaining the surroundings.More emphasis should be given on recycling the waste and water management. Public places to be taken care by govt employees. Fines should be imposed for spitting etc on public places. Strict fines and execution will help.

Cleaning is one option but the problem needs to be fixed at the root. The root will comprise of a number of factors: 1. Education - How it impacts them and their families? How will they benefit from it? 2. Champions - Champions at the lowest levels to implement this? 3. Everyone should be a policeman for stopping litter. Someone spreading litter should be looked at with pity at his immediate surrounding?
