In a world where big announcements often steal the spotlight, the actual heroes are those who help steer the tide gently but surely. Such marvelous people are Srishtisewaks. These are those individuals who are on a mission to save our planet, our society, and our future. All you have to do is have a heart that has the purpose and deeds that are based on kindness, without having a megaphone and a million followers.

Want to be like Srishtisewaks? Then this blog will tell you what 10 steps are required to be like a Srishtisewak.

1. Do waste segregation at home: Waste segregation means separating your dry and wet waste effectively, either at home or in businesses, so that they can be recycled, composted, and disposed of properly. This practice helps in reducing landfills and avoiding environmental pollution. 

Impact: When the households have 2.5 kgs less waste, total waste will amount to 50 million kgs, implying that green waste in landfills is due to 10 million houses daily. Every house makes a difference.

2. Start composting organic waste as a community: When all households come together to compost their organic waste, such as orange peels, vegetable cuttings, tea leaves, and garden trimmings, they actually transform ordinary garbage into gold. Instead of letting this waste end up in landfills, where it can reach water bodies and pollute them, composting this organic waste would convert it into manure that is rich in nutrients that can be used in gardens, parks or even a nearby farm.

Impact: The production of organic manure helps in reducing the usage of hazardous pesticides and chemical fertilizers, thus strengthening the soil, fostering cleaner food, and reducing land pollution.

3. Don’t use single use items: Using disposal material like plastic,thermocol and styrofoams comes with a massive environmental threat, for example, when burned they release toxic gases; when thrown away, they clog sewers and drains, causing waterlogging, flooding and stagnant water pools—perfect breeding grounds for mosquitoes and other harmful insects, thus spreading diseases like dengue, malaria, and chikungunya. Even worse, they don’t break down for hundreds of years, thus staying in our environment and harming wildlife and human health alike. 

Impact: All the problems mentioned above can be solved if we stop using single-use products and start using biodegradable products like cloth bags, steel or bamboo cutlery, reusable containers, and biodegradable packaging. 

4. Carry your own shopping bag: The best thing you can do to preserve the environment is to carry a shopping bag made up of cloth or biodegradable material, especially if you are carrying milk, eggs, vegetable or anything else in it, otherwise you pick up 5 to 10 plastic bags per visit. Unfortunately, these bags end up in the trash, clogging drains, polluting streets and harming animals. 

Impact: If a few people refuse to use at least one or two plastic bags every day, the impacts can be enormous. The use of biodegradable bags helps in reducing plastic bags, thus keeping the environment pollutant-free and saving money for both the consumer and shopkeeper.

5. Avoid buying things impulsively: In today’s world of gratification and flashy ads, it’s very easy to fall into the trap of buying new gadgets, fashionable clothes or a vehicle that you don’t even require, but every new product comes at a hidden cost to our pocket, environment and even our overall well-being.

Impact: Buying new things impulsively leads to older items, which may still be usable, being dumped in landfills. For instance, an old phone having rare metals, a car emitting toxic fluids, or clothes made up of synthetic fibers all contribute to toxic waste in the environment, and all these can be repaired, reused or shared. So thoughtful consumption is very important as it reduces the load on landfills and environmental harms and helps in creating a cleaner planet through mindful everyday choices.

6. Share more with family, with neighbours and your community: Many things in our home like food, appliances, utensils, tools, party decorations and finally travel bags, are those items that are used only once or rarely. Instead of letting them gather dust or end up as waste products, share them with other people around you.

Impact: Sharing your old items with neighbors not only saves money but also restores community ties, thus representing a sustainable and caring culture. It minimizes unnecessary consumption and waste, avoids duplication of rarely used products, and reduces emissions produced from packaging and manufacturing these products. Most importantly, it passes on values like simplicity, trust and learning to support each other.

7. Use public transport: In the present scenario, using private cars for traveling is becoming a new norm, but this growing individualism creates several problems for society like traffic congestion, air pollution, higher stress levels and even rising health issues like obesity due to less physical movement.

Impact: Having more cars on the roads leads to air and noise pollution. Thus, using public transport like the metro, bus, or train not only helps in reducing the number of vehicles on the road but also lowers emissions and eases urban traffic as well. Plus, walking some distance adds physical activity, reduces stress and improves your overall health.

8. Carry your own water bottles: You may presume it is a very small thing, but this one habit can create a massive ripple effect. Every time you choose to refill your bottle instead of buying a new water bottle, you are choosing environmental safety over convenience as you reduce plastic bottles in the environment. 

Impact: Now think of this: if a fraction of the population starts carrying their own reusable bottles, then lakhs of plastic bottles will disappear from the waste stream, which directly means less plastic in landfills and rivers and also it will put pressure on companies and govt to install water coolers at public places thus reducing dependence on single-use plastics.

9.  Stop investing in real estate beyond your needs: Having a lovely home is everybody’s dream, but owning more than one home just for the purpose of investment is turning into a very dangerous trend for the environment because it is creating three problems: one, reducing agricultural land; two, distorting housing demand; and lastly, creating ghost towns.

Impact: In the past few decades, many so-called urban hubs consisting of brand-new houses have been developed all over the country and sold out, but they remain empty, which means no communities, no people and no life exists there, while precious agricultural land is lost forever. So it’s time to break the narrative that real estate is real growth because its obsession fuels many problems like deforestation, over-construction, and rising costs. Thus, we should invest sustainably—buy only what is truly needed.

10. Start gardening, rebuild your connection with nature: In this digital world, we have lost our connection with the rhythms of nature, but you may feel something magical when you dig your hands into the soil—you reconnect with elements—soil, water, air and quiet life teeming around us—from fluttering butterflies to the roots growing beneath the surface.

Impact: Growing even a single plant on your balcony can change your perspective; for example, growing tomatoes teaches you patience, and watching bees pollinate flowers reminds us that nature is a silent labor. Doing gardening helps in reducing stress and improves mental health. It also builds empathy for farmers who feed us every day and deepens respect for the ecosystem—sun, soil, water and pollinators—that sustains us. Try growing one vegetable and feel the change.

Final Thoughts

Real change on the ground can happen if we take small, committed acts to save the environment. A Srishtisewak is not a person with power—they are someone who empowers and encourages people to save the environment. Not someone who shouts, they are someone whose actions speak louder than words. 

Your every choice shapes the world around you, and what legacy is better than one rooted in care? So take your steps forward. Initiate one simple change today and welcome to the path of real heroism.

Packaging material used by various clients to increase the look, shelf value, perceived value, and shelf life of their products is actually doing more harm than any good to the consumer, environment, and farmers.

First, to increase shelf life of perishable goods, we use pesticides, preservatives, wax, GM them. That’s the first distortion with nature.

After that, to feed the frenzy of consumerism, we make food travel long distances to be available 24 x 7.

Nature says, fruit that grows naturally in a geography in a season is best consumed locally. That’s why nature made things perishable.
But in our endeavour to McDonaldize everything, we created frozen, packaged, heated, packaged, treated, packaged products.

We lost our connect with nature. Farmer and food became another product produced in mass factories—yeah, meat too is a food.

Localization of food supplies is the mantra.
Global practices, local sourcing is the key to reduce packaging waste.

Why do we need packaging waste?
Why can’t technology offer recyclable solutions?
Why can’t milk be sold in bottles and small aluminium cans?
Why can’t lentils, sugar, groceries be sold from dispensers and taken by customers in containers?
Why can’t retail giants deliver groceries in such containers?
Why can’t these containers be sold as part of a membership package?

These are the questions that Big Basket, Grofers, Zomato, Swiggy, Big Bazaar, Reliance Retail need to answer. The aggregators need to answer.

The manufacturers need to answer. Their owners and shareholders need to answer. To consumers and law enforcement agencies.

Brands need to invest in recyclable, reusable packaging solutions.
Brands need to start getting into micro modes rather than mega.
Say no to mega factories, mega farms. Economy of scale is a disaster.
It wastes huge quantities of food and unnecessarily drives down the price of produce.

Words like competitive advantage, economy of scale, and global markets have done more harm to the world by making companies invest in innovative packaging solutions, which are essentially more plastics, new plastic, plastic waste.

It’s time for all stakeholders to wake up to the real challenge. Else, as always, someone will disrupt the applecart and you’ll be gone before you flinch.

Say no to the single-use packaging menace.
Say yes to reusable, recyclable solutions—ideally biodegradable.

Always remember: Nature packaged everything for maximum shelf life.
Don’t try to play God with nature.

Climate strikes, global protests, NGOs on streets worldwide—Greta Thunberg and many before her tried to achieve it, but they couldn’t.
If anyone deserved the Climate Champion Award back then, it was the Coronavirus.
It forced countries to shut down and slow down.
It drastically cut down fossil fuel consumption.
It reduced flights—the largest damaging factor to the ozone layer.
It closed hotels, which were among the largest polluters in tourist locations.
The virus pushed families away from consumerism—malls, shopping, movies, and food courts. More importantly, it brought families together. It united communities under lockdown, with nothing else to do and nowhere to go. People discovered their neighbors and neighborhoods like never before.
This forced slowdown should have been a natural choice—a balanced approach to life—but it wasn’t.
Corona accomplished what years of preaching couldn’t. It proved that humanity could only be forced to slow down. The forces driving development never allowed balance to be achieved. Imbalance was what kept them going.
The imbalance of wealth distribution.
The imbalance of development.
The imbalance that triggered climate change.
The imbalance that caused extreme climate conditions.
Everything that developed countries and developing economies chose to ignore.
Three months of Corona-induced slowdown made a difference. It helped enormously in cooling down the Earth. With humans staying put—no polluting air travel, cruises, or business conferences—the impact was evident.
It was a time when the world could have moved back to localization after the havoc caused by globalization was balanced. But did world leaders realize it? Unlikely.
Have there been more severe lessons from nature since then? Of course. Nature continues to restore balance—whether routinely or by force.
It’s high time we humans start living within our limits as #SrishtiSewaks. Mega is not the answer; balance is.
Otherwise, another pandemic like the Coronavirus will emerge with greater frequency to restore the balance we disrupt so frequently.

We all Know The world’s population is bursting at its seams. 

We all know the speed is slowing down as a percentage, but with increased base, the numbers added are huge. 

Population growth is not happening among people, demography, economies, cultures, countries, and continents that can afford it. As they have a larger land mass, an abundance of wealth and resources, and can feed a larger population.  Like Europe, US, CIS Countries, or the Developed world.

But is happening in Asia, Africa largely. 

The so-called third world, developing, and underdeveloped countries.  Which are already burdened with Debt. Unable to pay billions, as interests on service debts. 

Population over 50 to 100 Million, 250 Million, and inthe Case of Countries like Bharat 1.5 Billion. 

Between China, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Malaysia.

Check the data below,.

Check population Density.

Check Total Numbers, simple 10X, 100X 

The Above data shows clearly the inverse ratio between wealth and Population. 

Most of these Countries have been ruled by Colonisers, looted for centuries of their wealth. 

When Human becomes resource like Oil, Coal,  Meat, and Iron Ore. They are grown, harvested.  The best Ones: go to the best markets that can afford them. So the poor countries invest their scarce resources to educate, train, and bring up people for a decade or 2, typically 20 years. 

The developed world picks the best harvest to, pays the premium to 5-10% best stock, and the rest is left as discarded assets of discarded world.  

Fighting for jobs, resources, water, the right to live, health, and clean air.  The frustrated protest fight each other in the name of religion, culture.  Actually, it’s the fight for survival and resources, religion and race is just camouflage. 

The Poor, Underdeveloped countries need to understand how they have been exploited, abused by developed countries in the name of freedom, progress, growth, economic stability, GDP, etc. 

India, Mexico, Egypt, Pakistan, Brazil, Nigeria, Ethiopi,a among others, need to stop being Human production factories. They need to build a system of Quality Humans at Birth. 

It’s time for these countries to focus on a Quality population with Strong population control measures, especially among the poor and marginalized. 

Else, the State feeding, freebies will bankrupt the countries.

The wealth creators, businesses, and industries will leave their native lands and go to bigger wealth-creating magnet nations of the West and North. 

Here is some Geographic Significance.

Global East and Global South are relatively poorer than Global West and Global North. 

The wealth of One ( Europe, US, the North and West, essentially Colonisers)  is the wealth, resources looted from the Other, Asia, Africa, South America. 

British, Spanish, Italians, Portuguese, and French. The 5 Biggest Global invaders, colonisers are the developed world today, how? 

The Cycle started 400 years ago, and continues with Humans being the latest loot. 

In a typical Lifecycle of a Human, they are treated much like Beef or Pork farms that humans operate.

For 20 Years of life, the population is a burden on food supply, Infrastructure, education, Water supply, Homes, Roads, and Healthcare Infra. 

After 20 years, the best harvest is picked by the top payers and is exported to global markets.  Human resources. That’s a reality. The best-kept secret of Colonizers, now developed and Fortune 500 world. 

There is no real-world benefit of the Demographic dividend, besides the mob. Mob that drives mobocracy in the name of democracy.

Mob that does not add to the value of wealth creation, the distribution cycle of the Economy. Just labour, poor, unskilled, ready to be exploited for a dollar a day or less. 

With 20-30 million more mouths added to the stagnant supply chain of all possible resources.  These millions just work as Human fodder to fire the Growth Canon. 

1 million will be consumed by the US, Europe, and other developed countries, you are left with 19 million, every year, 2nd grade. 

Creating Huge pressure on these countries’ economies, creating healthcare scares, Ecosystem Meltdowns. 

The Devastating Climate change-powered environment mega events like floods, Hurricanes, and rising seas are directly linked to Over overconsumption of resources by the developing world to feed the frenzy of the developed world. More use and throw products, Phones, Shoes, clothes, packaged goods, Plastic goods, packaged food, water. Plastic, Plasti,c, and more plastic. 

Everything is Linked to Population. 

That makes, consumes, exploits the earth and in turn gets exploited itself are the poor humans living in inhuman conditions at human factories, labs, sweatshops. 

Only when the supply of this resource is controlled, its demand and value will rise. It’s in the interest of Humanity to undertake Population control on a mission mode. Let no data scientist, Western media feed you the religious, cultural steroid that if you slow down your growth, you will lose out. 

The multiple pressures being created by the bursting population on these poor countries can only be tackled by Strong Population control measures. Stop Pollution, stop the expansion of cities, the Concretisation of natural reserves, destruction of water bodies to feed a bursting population. 

The developing and Underdeveloped Countries need to come together and stop. Stop being human farms, stop being resource guzzlers of your own ecosystems, Stop Being the parasites, in the name of Culture, religion, or race.
