Hi, I am an IT engineer looking forward to studying environmental science and management to bring about a change in the world by bringing about a sustainable balance between technology and nature!
In a nation like India which consists of 655 million women, 48% of this female population is not ... more In a nation like India which consists of 655 million women, 48% of this female population is not aware of the proper usage of a sanitary napkin. The literature on menstrual waste disposal methods is limited and consequently little is understood about women's management of menstruation. This study investigates how women manage menstrual waste in India and amounts of sanitary waste that ends up into landfill. Lack of awareness and immense taboo around menstruation in India is adding up to the issues of proper sanitary waste management. This infectious waste if not handled properly, would pose an immense threat to the oceans and land, as well as human and animal health. Considering the health hazards caused by inefficient disposal methods, it is necessary to come up with a solution that is sustainable on every front. To avoid proliferation of the problem, a decentralized solution to handle the menstrual waste at its generation point is vital. With this study, we try to conclude best practices to be observed and a solution that is economical, viable and rational.

In this article we explore the everyday informal politics of climate activism by youth from Aotearoa New Zealand's largest city (Auckland). We examine how young people, frustrated by the lack of global and domestic political inertia, are operationalizing their concerns about climate change into actions in their daily lives directed at mitigating their greenhouse gas emissions. Through a relational qualitative approach, we document the contradictory standing of youth, specifically as agentic actors and environmental citizens, who are aware of and seeking climate action through multiple modes of action including protesting, eco-consuming, influencing others, and eco-caring work. Our youth participants reported how their participation in various forms of climate activism helped to reduce their eco-anxiety and made them more hopeful about their collective abilities to address cl...
