I praise the touching gesture by the hard working Dabbawalas of Mumbai, where it is said people have little time to do their chores. I wish the millionaires of India would emulate this example generously. -

Wonderful things are happening around us that show someone working behind! Fake Gurus are exposed, AAP in Capital, Corruptions are leaking, Poor are feeding, Himalayas self cleaned, Internal quest gaining momentum........! Now let us attend a serious problem. The waste...millions of tons of municipal waste accumulating daily basis which is the biggest threat today and question our future, let us save the cities from waste and villages from dumping it by REDUCING, RECYCLING & REUSING it as beautiful ORGANIC FERTILIZER - what is the result! amazing! No more importing of KILLER CHEMICAL FERTILIZERS AND PESTICIDES - REDUCE the CURRENT ACCOUNT DEFICIT BY SAVING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS AS FOREX PAYMENTS. India could be an EXPORTER of ORGANIC FERTILIZERS in 15 years! No Waste and KILLER CHEMICALS - MOTHER EARTH WILL SURELY SMILE!! THIS WILL ELIMINATE MOST OF THE KILLER CANCERS OUT OF THIS KILLER CHEMICALS which POLLUTE the air, CONTAMINATE the water, CONSUMED with end (food) products and KILL the soil fertility! Dream for tomorrow NO TODAY!! MULTI-Billion Chemical fertilizers and Waste management are political and under **hands! WHO CAN OVERCOME THOSE NEXUS IS A BIG Q! -

Sharing is Caring. A simple ad good idea. What would be EVEN better is to change the system that has created such vast homelessness of children in India. Little by little, one step at a time. This is definitely in the right direction. HUG and thank you for sharing! -

I loved how this works in a city that seems so complex logistically. And how volunteers are still part of the system. I also think about the ready made sandwiches that (as far as I know) largely go to waste here in London at close of business every day... -

Very good, indeed.
a) This feeds (some) needy
b) Prevents food from going waste
I would love to see the day when 'Share' is seen as the default with stickers to say 'Not Share' (as in Organ Transplant 'Opt Out' clause in UK). I bet there is a significant % who don't label Share sticker due to laziness or momentary insensitivity than as a conscious decision of not wanting to share. If this can be done, I bet only a minuscule % will stick 'Not Share' sticker due to any orthodox or personal reasons and thus more food will reach the needy. -

- Read an introduction to the famous Harvard Business School case study of the Mumbai dabbawalas or a fuller scholarly study of how they do what they do.
- There are many ways you can help the homeless in your community. Consider this list of ideas.
- Taking uneaten food home from a restaurant? Have left-overs in your refrigerator? Go a little out-of-your way to share that bounty with someone on the streets of your town.
