Being mindful means eating in a smart way and finishing what's on your plate. Fix broken things instead of throwing them away, and stay away from one-time use items like plastic cups. Use things that can be used more than once, like water bottles and bags, and encourage people to recycle. Composting food scraps helps cut down on waste. Together, we can help the earth by getting people to donate and teaching others about these things. Choose items that don't come in a lot of packaging to reduce waste. Accept the idea of upcycling, which means using things in creative new ways. Say no to printing too much and choose digital options instead. Pick solid items over disposable ones to make things last longer. Manage e-waste effectively by using the right ways to get rid of it. Choose eco-friendly goods on purpose and teach your friends how to encourage a culture of reducing waste.

Maggu’s achievements are particularly noteworthy because – as is well known – academic institutions in India are less than sold on the idea of inclusive education. In fact, when Maggu lost her sight in class IV, her school (which she declines to name) expelled her while suggesting she attend a “blind school”. Though shocked, Maggu rejected the advice. “Attending a special school would have tarred me with a handicap forever, which was not how I saw my future. Therefore I did the rounds of other public schools with my father, a small – time merchant, explaining that my case was different Since I had vision till the age of ten,” she recalls.
Impressed by her persistence and ambition, Delhi’s Bluebells School not only admitted her but pulled out all the stops to support her in academics sporting events and also notched up a respectable 73 percent average in the class XII exam with the help of Braille, interactive textbooks and extra coaching.
The respectable average in her CBSE exam paved the way for admission into LSR where again she proved her mettle by winning medals in a slew of inter – collage events (100 200 and 400 metre sprints) high jump, long jump, javelin and discuss throw: resulting in her being declared ‘Athlete of the year’ 2003’ at a sports meet for 100 physically challenged athletes. And the cherry on the cake was the selection to the IBSA Games last year. “It was a tough regimen,” recalls Maggu. “I had to attend sports camps manage my studies and officiates as sports president.
