To save our environment, to save ourselves we often talk about organic philosophy which can offer ecological - , economic- and social sustainability and sound health of our planet Earth. It can be reflected in agriculture, in organic produces/products, individual to community life style. But it is easier said than done. How can we usher in an organic world? What can we make the paradigm shift possible?
Dear Sir,
For me, I work on sustainability issues in terms of responsible electronic waste management, particularly in Indian context. I could realize the extent of this problem during my PhD work! All kinds of 'Waste' are one of the biggest challenges to sustainability in the present day world. Therefore, I try not to engage in unnecessary purchase of any item (including electronics) and learning to limit my consumption in terms of material goods as far as possible. All these purchases have a lifespan and will become obsolete after a specific period of time. I have realized that we actually have much more stuffs in our households than we actually use! Our clothes, most of which remain unused in our cupboards, are good example of it. I believe creating adequate public awareness towards responsible consumption and disposal behaviour is the key which may help in the paradigm shift that you have mentioned.

Dear Dr. Biswas, the organic way of living in a global context may involve certain steps. Such as we should convert some biomass in compost to use for growing necessary vegetables and fruits. We should extract our own cooking oils from our own canola using. We can also try to build some zero energy buildings for living. We can use effluent of some organic industries such as fish processing and slughter houses, to make biogas rather than to rely on fossil fuels. In such a way we can save our Earth for future generations, otherwise we do not need to talk about these things.
Regards,
Dr. Laghair
