Twenty schools in Pune will work on waste management by practising the 4Rs – refuse, reuse, reduce and recycle – in their daily lives. The move comes after SEARCH (sensitization, education and awareness on recycling for a cleaner habitat), a programme initiated by TERI was launched in these schools. The idea is to encourage students and teachers to practice the 4Rs and to make consumption choices that would ensure sustainability in the years to come. At present, this project is being implemented in Pune, Mumbai, Delhi, Chandigarh, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Dhaka (Bangladesh).
