Most of us here in America do a fairly good job of recycling our day to day products. The people in India take the cake though!
In just one rather large village in India, home to over a million people, the majority of the people recycle. They take it a step further that most. While many folks are really craft at creating new items from used ones, the Indians excel at it.
These home crafters gather trash from all over the city. They then transform it into new products. It’s a way of life for these Indians and a substantial portion of their income.
Overall, India recycles about 40 percent of their electronic waste. Kudos to India!
National Geographic’s Novica features some prominent Indian artists. Their creations range from wall hangings, metal works, woven and fabric items and jewelry.
