Launching a Community of Care in Khan Market

Written by Caroline / 23 March 2010 / Read Caroline's latest blog entries.

After months spent discussing with restaurants, students, NGOs, and wastepickers who work in the high-profile Khan Market of Delhi, we are finally ready to launch a waste management and composting project to manage the more than 300 kilos produced each day by restaurants, florists, and other vendors in this marketplace! All compost generated will be sold directly to consumers and used to build community gardens in schools and parks and rooftop gardens in the market itself! It's a great chance to showcase the true potential of decentralized community waste management!

We can't do this without your support! If you are interested in helping to build a local economy in Delhi, supporting decentralized waste management and community gardens, please write us at indiaclimatesolutions@gmail.com or contact us through the website! We accept donations of time, in-kind services and... yes, the finance to launch the project!
