Creative Scraping

Every day cities of India are churning out mountains of plastic and non bio-degradable waste.

And yet, ours has been a culture of not wasting anything, of reusing every scrap.

In small towns and villages, as well as with experimenters around the country, this is still the norm.

In this swapathgami meeting, we hope to explore:-
What kinds of creative and useful things are we making (or can we make) out of waste?- How can we connect 'recycling' and 'upcycling' with art, architecture, music, farming, festivals, etc.?- How do we expand understandings around 'Refuse, Reduce, Recycle, Reuse, Regenerate'?- How can we make a healthy livelihood from waste?- How do we nurture 'zero waste zones' in our families and communities?

Bring your kabaad creations and join us at Karm Marg,in Faridabad, Haryana, India, from December 16-19,2005 for an interactive gathering.
