Organic waste collection for composting

The coastal wilderness at Mithapur shelters a multitude of birds, reptiles and animals
including the endangered Pangolin and the Star Tortoise. The undulating sand dunes
provide habitat for the endangered Houbara Bustard which is a passage migrant and
the Mithapur beach features nesting sites of the endangered Olive Ridley and the
Green Turtles. These habitats need to be protected from spread of an exotic weed
"Propopis juliflora”, seeds of which are propagated by the Neelgai (Indian Blue
Bull) through their droppings. Volunteers at Tata Chemicals have initiated a drive
for collection of Neelgai droppings and other organic waste from coastal wilderness.
These would be used for composting and the organic manure so produced will be utilized
for expansion of grasslands in the coastal sand dunes. CEO, Trent Hyper Market,
and senior officers from Tata Chemicals visited the site and had an interaction
with the volunteers. They were also taken around the coastal grassland which has
been developed by TCL employees, family members and retired employees as part of
the volunteering programs over the last three years.
