Make the shift for better future (GAF 2024)
The challenge of sustainable consumption stems from the escalating strain on natural resources and ecosystems due to unchecked industrialisation and population growth. Inefficient production and overconsumption contribute significantly to waste generation and resource depletion. E-waste is the fastest-growing solid waste stream in the world. In 2019, 53.6 million tonnes of e-waste were produced globally, but only 17.4% was documented as formally collected and recycled. Single-use plastics, excessive packaging, and reliance on non-renewable energy sources further compound the problem. Addressing these challenges necessitates coordinated efforts across sectors. Consumer education and accessibility to sustainable products are key in promoting responsible consumption behaviours.
Sharing resources, consuming sustainably and proper disposing of waste are the need of the hour. The project intends to raise awareness about these practices through a number of activities especially targeting young people.
Consumer Awareness Programmes with Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI)
Citizen consumer and civic Action Group (CAG), is a registered Consumer Advisory Group with the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI). In collaboration with TRAI, CAG will conduct consumer awareness sessions on telecom services across Tamil Nadu. These sessions aim to educate consumers on TRAI’s consumer-friendly regulations, grievance redressal mechanisms, and ways to report digital and cyber fraud. Focused at the block level, particularly in rural areas, the initiative seeks to build awareness at the grassroots. This year, CAG will conduct six such awareness meetings on behalf of TRAI in Tamil Nadu.
Awareness of telecom services is crucial in Tamil Nadu, where increasing mobile usage and rapid digital transition have left consumers vulnerable to digital fraud, poor service quality, hidden charges, and lack of awareness about their rights and grievance mechanisms. The state also faces growing cyber threats, evolving online scams, and a surge in spam calls—many leading to cybercrimes. The Tamil Nadu Cyber Crime Wing has issued warnings about the rising risk of such attacks.
In order to educate consumers about these challenges, and the various consumer friendly regulations issued by the Regulator, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), is conducting consumer awareness programmes through the Consumer Advisory Groups. These initiatives are key to empowering consumers to stay informed, safe, and assertive in the digital space.
Cyclist safety- Do not use your phone/headphone while driving
Ready to take a leisurely ride on your bicycle? Don't forget to put away your smartphones and headphones! Distractions can lead to dangerous situations, especially in areas with heavy traffic. Instead, focus on the road and be aware of potential hazards. Remember, 1,132 lives were tragically lost on the road due to the use of mobile phones while riding or driving.
