Delhi, consistently ranking among world's most polluted cities with AQI levels routinely exceeding 400+, faces a unique challenge where cultural practices intersect with environmental crisis. While major contributors like vehicle emissions and crop burning are well-documented, there's a culturally sensitive yet significant source of particulate matter: the traditional practice of dry sweeping with a jhadu (traditional broom).
Daily impact in Delhi alone:
Why this isn't a simple behavior change:

For environmental activists worldwide:
Manipueira Gold Recovery Technology, Inc., is pioneering a revolutionary approach to gold recovery by replacing mercury, a potent neurotoxin, used by artisanal gold miners as a lixiviant (leaching agent) to recover gold from ore with Manipueira (cassava wastewater). Manipueira, an eco-friendly solution derived from the cyanogenic bitter cassava plant (Manihot esculenta Crantz) not only promises to recover 2-3 times more gold than traditional methods sustainably but also significantly reduces environmental and health risks.
Our technology, rooted in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles, is more than just a technical innovationโit's a climate action initiative. By converting existing mercury and cyanide-based processing centers to Manipueira leaching operations, we aim to protect communities, preserve ecosystems, and increase gold yields. With growing global demand for responsible mining solutions, we believe Manipueira represents a significant investment opportunity with the potential for both financial returns and positive environmental impact.

Hello fellow environmental activists,
I wanted to share a growing community dedicated to tracking, discussing, and taking action on climate-related issues affecting Delhi and the surrounding National Capital Region (NCR).
At r/DelhiClimate, we focus on:
Delhi faces unique environmental challenges, from severe air pollution to extreme weather events. Our subreddit aims to create a space where concerned citizens, researchers, and activists can collaborate and share knowledge about these pressing issues.
If you're interested in environmental action in South Asia or want to learn more about climate challenges in one of the world's largest metropolises, we welcome you to join our community.
Feel free to visit r/DelhiClimate and participate in our discussions.
Cheers!โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Hi everyone! Iโm working on a project for my Design and Technology Major Design Project, in which I am designing an autonomous trash-sorting bin for public spaces like parks and beaches. The bin will compact waste and even operate on solar power. Itโs a step towards cleaner public spaces and better recycling habits.
I don't usually like to promote things, but Iโd love your input on my survey to make sure it meets real needs. If you have a few minutes, please fill out this quick survey: https://forms.gle/LDmzvx8hF3cn81YB6
Your feedback will directly help me in my project (and who knows, maybe even implement it). Thanks so much for supporting sustainable innovation!
TL;DR: Coordinated Sunday power reduction by 1000 homes = pollution equivalent of 1000 cars off road. No policy changes needed, just community action. Simple 3-time-block strategy that's more effective than car-free days.
Here's a grassroots approach to fighting air pollution that's emerging in Delhi, India - one of the world's most polluted cities. The math is compelling, and the model could work anywhere.
The Data Behind It:
The Strategy: Three simple time blocks every Sunday:
6-10 AM (Peak pollution hours):
10 AM-4 PM:
4 PM onwards:
Why This Works Better Than Car-Free Days:
Impact Multiplication:
The Organizing Model:
Global Potential: While this started in Delhi, the model could work in any urban area where:
Looking for feedback from other environmental organizers - how could we scale this model globally? What modifications would make this work in your city?

In Rocklin California there is a valley with historical significance called Clover Valley. It once was an important trading hub for Native American tribes and many artifacts have been found there. It's also a beautiful piece of land it has hundreds of oak trees and it's home to many birds and other animals. For years people have tried to save this land and preserve it. A new development has been proposed that would cut down 780 mature trees, this would alter Clover Valley forever, please help us save Clover Valley we believe it should be preserved and protected for its history, beauty, and for the animals that call Clover Valley home. If you wish to help please sign the petition. Thank you.

A lot of us are trying to live more sustainably, but big companies are still causing major harm to the environment. Shouldnโt they be held responsible too?
I came across a petition in the UK that calls for fines on companies that donโt reduce their emissions in a certain amount of time. If this sounds like something youโd support, take a look and see if you want to back it: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700612/sponsors/new?token=b1fBnccBFq14SxXE3RBU
Hi everyone,
I think we can all agree that life can be incredibly unfair. One person is sitting comfortably, enjoying their favorite meal, while someone else on the other side of the world is witnessing their family being torn to shredsโhow horrific. Somewhere else, a person has to walk miles just to fetch water infested with bacteria, while another person only needs to extend their arm for the bottle of clean water thatโs on their table.
There are countless societal problems in the worldโhunger, water scarcity, climate change, education inequality, homelessness, and more. While many people donโt have the financial means to make a difference, they might have the right words, strategies, or ideas to create change.
Iโm building a social crowdfunding platform where users can discuss these issues, raise awareness, and propose actionable solutions. The platform promotes collaboration by allowing users to outline solutions in multiple phases. It fosters a community for sharing ideas, engaging in meaningful discussions, and working together to tackle real-world challenges. Leaders can also create and lead projects that the community can follow and support.
The beta will be private and launches on November 30. Iโm looking for people interested in joining this journey, providing feedback, and helping shape the platform. If youโre Interested in participating or would like to get to know more about me or the project, you can message me on reddit or add me on discord to have a chat (itsomidkhber).
Thank you for reading, and I will appreciate your input!
