About the speaker: Shri Mayur Bhave and his family stays in Pune city and tries to live sustainable lifestyle as far as possible. Mayur Bhave's parents, wife, and daughters - all 6 of them try to minimize use of natural resources. They employ 5R policy - Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Replenish. They try to reduce use of water, electricity, fossil fuels in many ways they can. Also, they try to reduce the amount waste they generate. Wet waste/Kitchen waste has not gone out of their house more than 15 years. In fact, Mayur Bhave gets wet waste from neighbors and runs a biogas plant for more than 9 years. Biogas is sufficient for more than 75 % of their cooking needs. All the wet waste and garden waste from neighbors goes into composters and then compost goes to Terrace Garden. They have this terrace garden for more than 10 years where small and big trees keep growing and providing cooling effect. They have many other sustainable initiatives like Solar Water Heater, Solar Dryer, Rainwater Harvesting, Plastic Recycling, etc. Recently, Mayur Bhave is making their own charcoal from garden waste or coconut shells. Charcoal is used for cooking. Bhave family adds more sustainable ideas continuously.
