'Simplifying Sustainability’ is a radio campaign from The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), in association with 92.7 BIG FM. The initiative aims to make sustainable practices easier to understand and implement in everyday life.
Often, people find it hard to relate to the concept of sustainability. Therefore, ‘Simplifying Sustainability’ tries to break down complex environmental concepts into actionable and practical steps that individuals can follow to reduce their ecological footprints. These simple sustainability measures can be followed at home and workplaces, such as reducing waste, conserving energy, having your own kitchen garden, compost pits, choosing eco-friendly products, etc.
The campaign will feature TERI experts, who will be speaking on themes like air, energy, environment, climate change, sustainable habitat, and sustainable agriculture.
The campaign, which kicked-off on May 22, will continue till June 19, 2024. Every Saturday and Wednesday from 10 am to 11 am, our experts will share their insights, experiences and knowledge.
