In this week as a part of RISE, KYF organised a awareness and information drive in
Suddangate Palya regarding waste segregation. We spent our time speaking to local
businesses and shop keepers, asking them whether they segregated their waste. If they
did, we made sure they were doing so in the most effective way possible, with a
correct system in place depending on the nature of their business. If they did not
segregate their waste, we have information on why they should adopt such an
environmentally friendly procedures and how to go about them.
Through this drive I gained an understanding of the average awareness regarding waste
segregation and implementation in areas like SG Palya and how to effectively educate people
about them.
5. Do you find the application of any psychological concept in the work you have done?
We noticed, based on the sample of people interacted with that those with a callous attitude
towards environment protection measures had a lack of education. This resulted in
behavioural patterns and beliefs which were difficult for us to approach, so we had to relate
to them on a personal level before requesting them to change the way they dealt with waste in
their area.
6. Conclusion
Through this RISE drive, we managed to speak to dozens of local businesses about their waste
segregation and promote environmentally friendly measures as well as information amongst them.
