Waste Recycling



This is how the Trichur Corporation is solving the problem of waste. Two tubes are given for less than 100 INR. The real cost is 893 INR.  90% is subsidy. 75% given by Shuchithva Mission and 15% by Corporation.

The householder gets two tubes for less than 100. He can put waste in one tube and close it with a lid. After one week when the tube becomes full with waste, he can fill the other tube. ( On top of that waste, buttermilk, cowdung, curd can be put ). Meanwhile the first tube will be full of fertiser and that fertiliser can be used as manure for farms ! Tubes have 8 inch diameter and 1.3 meter length. Initially tubes will be given to 20 K homes.
Distribution of tubes have begun. Not a great engineering idea, but maybe it will suffice !

"I'm sure there are a lot of teams around that don't really want to play England - because they don't quite know what they're going to get at the minute." It is true that Eng had not played upto their full potential, but then that will be be preserved for the knockout stages. "If we win all three matches, we'll be able to look back on one of the best (northern hemi
