Eco Education
RUR began as a volunteer forum and we have been educating citizens ever since 2009. We strongly believe in the power of eco-education to connect individuals of all ages and communities to environmental issues. Through our initiatives, we aim to deepen your understanding of solid waste management, empowering you to make informed and responsible choices about waste disposal and resource conservation. Our goal is to foster a more environmentally conscious society where everyone can contribute to a sustainable future.

Testimonials
I’ve always believed that nature has to be nurtured, and if students can build that skill, it can go on for life. And that is why I met Ms. Monisha Narke, who has a very strong vision of saving the environment and conserving it; after meeting her and working with her, things have really changed the school. We have brought in composting, we have brought in organic farming, we have brought in so many green activities in this school, it is so beautiful to see children, even in the lockdown period, growing small saplings and planting it in their house and sharing videos and talking about it.
All the six sessions were creatively curated to bring about real life understanding of sustainability, solid waste management issues with special focus on solutions like aerobic composting. The course gave our students experiential learning experience through hands-on demos, case studies and videos. They are now motivated to adopt simple sustainable steps in their daily life like gardening, reducing use of plastics and many more green practices. Overall the program is designed to make a change conducted by facilitators with sound knowledge of the topics making them interesting through presentations, demonstrations and videos.
A waste management webinar titled ‘Waste It Or Invest It’ was conducted by Dr. Aparna Pandey to sensitise our students to the importance of prudent waste management and their role as responsible inhabitants of planet earth. We are also grateful to RUR for installing the 4 Bin Approach of waste management. The timely monitoring provided by RUR team and their availability to help us with any queries are noteworthy. We have been able to maintain records systematically under their able guidance. We are proud to say that we have successfully composted 495kg. Of wet waste from January 2022 to date and generated 25 kg. Of compost which is being used to enhance the green cover on the campus. We commend the entire RUR team for the role they have played in sensitising us to our responsibility of environmental stewardship and look forward to a long term collaboration with an esteemed organisation like theirs.
On behalf of the IPA-MSB's Bombay College of Pharmacy we would like to appreciate the efforts of Mrs. Monisha Narke, Dr. Aparna Pandey and her team at RUR Greenlife Pvt. Ltd. for arranging two-day workshop on 'Green Awareness and Action Program' (GAAP) for our students on 15th and 16th December 2022 from 9:30am to 6pm. The workshop was attended by 100 students and will be awarded a course credit for participation. The students were exposed to the concept of sustainability, segregation of waste, home composting, gardening, etc. with expert speakers and panel discussions. The students carried out field work during which they developed a kitchen garden with brinjal, tomato, coriander, chilli, broccoli, cabbage, bottle gourd and leafy vegetables besides the medicinal plant garden at BCP campus and learned how composting is done. Through this workshop our students and staff have benefited in knowledge of sustainability and apprehend to be ambassadors for the same.
FAQ
We request you to hold your waste for the last 24 hours for us and make 2 housekeeping staff available with us during the audit process. We also request you to introduce us to a few conscious people on campus who can answer our survey questions to help build a robust plan for waste management solutions.
Our suggestions will help channelize high value recyclables to responsible recyclers who can offer cash or points against the waste collected by them as per the agreement.
Well, waste audit is your gateway to understanding your current scenario. Rather than being confused and overwhelmed aout where to start, waste audit can help you with a structured approach of existing problems vs customized solutions that are easy to implement. The implementation aspect is what will have a profound environmental impact.
