‘Give us plastic waste, drink tea in return’, invites a tea stall near the famous Kumbhalgarh Fort in Rajasthan.
Bhaga Singh weighs the waste plastic he receives at his tea stall on his weighing machine. The 31-year-old vendor then offers tea and a samosa in a paper cup and plate to the customer in return for one kilo of waste plastic. By doing this, the chaiwala is making a humble initiative to make the area plastic-free. The waste plastic he collects is given to the waste collectors.
“I don’t do it for profit; but for a plastic-free Kumbhalgarh,” says the young man from Kelwara village. Located near the Aravalli Hills, Kumbhalgarh Fort has a 36 km long wall, said to be the second-longest wall after the Great Wall of China. The World Heritage Site attracts a large number of tourists who dump a lot of plastic. Bhaga’s village alone generates more than 2,000 kgs of waste every month, with 527 kgs of plastic alone.
