A blue bus for a green future
new and re-crafting our lifestyles.
Welding can reduce metallic waste. Gardening, particularly urban gardening, is a key way forward to enjoy pesticide-free foods, especially greens. In a society like India, where those who can afford it rarely do the work on their own, skills for a greener lifestyle can play a game changing role. Imagine if, ten years hence, it is still cheaper to repair a table elegantly than buy a new one. It would set India apart from the ‘developed’ world as it functions today. The way forward is to seed this in the hands and minds of lakhs of young people, instead of letting a few companies monopolize skills to repair their gadgets, overcharge and push for obsolescence.
India is lucky to have an existing generation of that can repair and farm, but their children don’t aspire to be like them. Skilling kids in schools ensures we retain our green army.
