Brown Leaf
VISION
“Not a single dry leaf should be burnt in India“
MISSION
“To help you manage dry leaves in eco-friendly manner”
We understand your challenge. Quantity of dry leaves could be overwhelming.
While looking for solution to manage dry leaves in our backyard, Brown leaf was born.
We have utilized thousands of gunny bags of dry leaves in Pune city through our 3-fold strategy, MULCH – COMPOST – DONATE.
All these leaves would have gone up in the air as smoke. Now, beautiful gardens blossom on them.
Utilizing dry leaves in eco-friendly manner is not at all difficult.
We have done it, so we can confidently say so.
All you need, is basic knowledge, some planning and around 5 minutes of your time every day. That is all.
And it is rewarding and completely worth it, that we promise.
What is MULCH-COMPOST-DONATE?

All the participants were mesmerised by your talk which has been reflected in their feedback forms too. The real astonishment to each one of us was that you having such diverse background are working so deeply in the field of ecology.

My garden was completely parched dry and most of the plants seemed dead. I had lost hope of any revival. I turned to Brown Leaf group for experts advice . They told me not to give up and continue taking care and watering the plants. I lost some of my plants but I noticed that the plants I had mulched ,survived and are thriving till today.
I was having my breakfast with a weekly dose of Scroll.in’s Eco India video. The video said ‘A Pune woman is making sure waste is not wasted’. Dried leaves are so omnipresent in our daily lives, be it urban or rural yet we just tend to ignore them. But after watching the video I just couldn’t ignore it anymore. The idea of mulching was so simple yet had such a powerful impact on the environment
