In India, where household waste is predominantly wet and often sent to landfills, The Art of Living is pioneering a transformative approach under the guidance of spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Recognizing the untapped potential in waste, especially floral offerings from temples that pollute water bodies, the organization aims to revolutionize waste management.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar emphasizes, “We need to turn waste into gold. Segregation of waste should be done in every home.” This initiative advocates educating communities on segregating organic and inorganic waste, thereby reducing landfill waste and environmental degradation.

The Art of Living’s holistic strategy involves recycling floral waste to create compost and other useful products. By converting waste into valuable resources, the organization not only promotes environmental sustainability but also contributes to community health and well-being.

This initiative marks a significant step towards achieving cleaner surroundings and fostering a sustainable future through innovative waste management practices.
