This blog would be more relevant to people living in India who have a milk-man leave milk at their home daily or have cow visitors in their neighborhood. But yet you could find other options like “Making a small compost bin in your home and use the compost eventually as fertilizer for your homegrown plants” or you could find your own other ways to reduce and use your garbage with the objective in mind to reduce pollution.
Does not take any time of yours
When you have cleaned your vegetables, at the time of cooking your dinner, put off all the vegetable remains in a plastic bag and put it in a corner of your frig. That way it would stay fresh until the next day until you hand it over to your milk-man. Make a small space in your frig easily accessible so that you can remove it quickly the next day.
What can be put aside?
Daily remains of leafy vegetables.
Ladies-finger remains.
Potato skin if you remove them.
Any other vegetable remains(In addition you could consult your milk-man too )
Fruit skin like mango, banana skin, watermelon skin
Fruit remains like Jackfruit remains, pineapple remains
Benefits to the Cow:
1 She gets a variety of nutritious food which otherwise would be limited to store-bought grass etc.
Benefits to the Milk-man:
1. Saves a few bucks that he would spend on buying fodder for his cow.(If he collects these remains from multiple customers)
Benefit(s) to you:
1 A mental satisfaction that you have reduced garbage which would otherwise add to the world around you.
2 You can ask for cow-dunk in return which would be a good fertilizer for your garden. Though it smells a bit 🙂 Plants grow faster and taller pretty quickly.
Benefit(s) to the entire society:
1 Lesser garbage added around, less of bad odor around.
2 Less viral deceases. Therefore, healthier you, and you live longer.
3 Have fresher air to breath
If you know any more ways to reduce wet garbage or garbage, in general, please leave comments and I would love to read and follow them.
