Thank you for tagging me @ShailendraOjha . I think this is a fantastic initiative for India and the Earth, and I’m so happy to see sustainability being considered in new building projects.
The USA is quite divided by state and cities regarding how many resources we have access to for sustainability in our personal lives. Many Federal programs provide funding to help make these programs more affordable, but it is still too expensive for many people. When a State or City puts sustainability into a plan for residents, it becomes much more achievable. But we still have to consider the will of the people. For example, my city provides home pickup for recyclables but not green waste or compostable material. Other cities do provide green waste pick-up as a service. Some states have nothing.
In the Southwestern United States, we face a big risk of water accessibility running low. Arizona is focused on growth, often seemingly without concern for how we will support it. Cities have taken the imitative to help reduce water consumption by paying residents to remove grass lawns, and increasing water rates. In my city, they host workshops for ‘xeriscaping’ to help residents learn about drought-resistant plants to keep in our yards.
I can only hope that campaigns like the one you’ve highlighted will start to instill in the youth how important it is to be caring for our planet. We started this over a generation ago in the US, and it’s still a fight!
