India, which generates about 60 million tonnes of trash every year, out of which, ten million tonnes is generated in just the metropolitan cities, would do well to learn a thing or two from this young boy. It is believed that in Mumbai alone, every household generates close to one kilogram of waste daily and by following that data, we are creating more waste than what our landfills can hold. While we may all not be skilled in robotics, maybe it's time we came up with comprehensive, innovative plans to not only reduce waste, but also reuse the waste we create in interesting ways.
