The\nchildren were divided into groups, each responsible for a specific type of\nwaste, such as plastics or glass bottles. They were very eager to find and pick\nup as much trash as possible, filling several big bags in just an hour. The\nchildren should be focusing on their education and future! Then again, this is\nan important lesson for the children, as it lays in their future to manage the\nwaste we are producing right now; waste that is the result of our generations\u2019\nignorant behaviour when it comes to littering and polluting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/20191211_112600-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18212\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/20191211_112544-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18211\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The street\ncleaning was successful in the sense that the children were happy to help and\nthat we were able to collect a lot of waste. Still, the streets were far from\nclean at the time we had to wrap the session up. To clean all the street waste\nin the area, it seems as though a lifetime would be required. And even if we\nwere to collect waste every day for the rest of our lives \u2013 it would not be\nenough, if people continue to throw plastic and other waste in the nature. What\nneeds to change is clearly the mindset, littering behaviour and waste\nmanagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/20191211_100835-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18221\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/20191211_095338-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18217\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/20191211_112633-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18213\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After\ncollecting waste, all the bags were opened up, the collected items separated\ninto multiple categories to make recycling possible. Recycling is a much better\nidea than burning the waste or just throwing it in a landfill; but we should\nconsider that even recycling is not the ideal way to go. Re-thinking what materials\nwe use (especially one-time-use plastic) would mean exponentially reducing waste!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/20191211_100840-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18223\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/20191211_095350-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18219\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our hope is\nthat in the future, especially after seeing the children cleaning the streets,\nthe community surrounding the school will stop and think before deciding what\nto do with their trash.
