Share Autos: making our cities more sustainable

Urbanization in India was at a high of 31.16% between 2001 and 2011 (Census of India, 2011). This rapid urbanization is reflected at the local level - Tamil Nadu is one of the most urbanized states with 44% of people living in cities like Chennai (Census of India, 2011). Unfortunately, this has also meant that cities have become very crowded, polluted spaces where everything is at a premium - education, housing, transport, food, water - the list goes on.

Author

#QuitSachets this #July. Want to know why? The truth about sachet waste is that (if ever collected), they are merely burned in #incinerators or in waste-to-energy plants. (Companies and brands like to call this 'recycling'!) Burning plastic, even when done in state of the art facilities, is extremely risky to human health. #PlasticFreeJuly
