Bengaluru generates thousands of tonnes of waste everyday, but we can reduce it substantially by using recycled or repurposed products. Here is an account of some interesting recycled products that were sold at an event organised by the volunteer group Second To None, last Saturday

The creative, enthusiastic types looked around the mela and said, I too can make that jewelbox out of PET bottles. While wallet-happy shoppers bought the same to show off to their friends. But both of them went home with a message on recycling and reusing.
An initiative to gift or receive used items freely, shows one easy way to be green. It has also benefited many, making a difference to their education or livelihood.
