Her Determination To Cause a Ripple Effect

Vishnuka Sivananadan is a rather determined ToT trainer who strongly believes and follows the prevention of SWM mechanism in her day to day life. Some of the details mentioned by her in the change of habits and acquiring knowledge on this process have been captured as follows. While schooling, I never threw garbage on the road but had the habit of burning them on returning home. I was only taught that plastic and polythene were hazardous to the environment but not how toxic burning them was. As a nature lover I was keen on keeping the surrounding clean at all times. Although I was aware of the effects caused by polythene to the environment the adverse effects of it never reached my ears. As a result, prior to the training I was involved in burning all the garbage without segregating them.
