Why you should not burn or dump dry leaves
Burning is extremely harmful
Smoke can cause respiratory problems.
When dry leaves are burnt, gases like CO and CO2 are generated.
Both are green houses gases.
Both contribute to global warming.
CO is EXTREMELY hazardous to our health.
Fire can spread as we do not have control over open burning
There is no place left for dumping
We are rapidly running out of dump yards.
Soon, it will be made mandatory to manage our wet waste
Better start voluntary now, and be equipped.
It is better to manage dry leaves within premises than look for ways to "get rid" of them
Safe guard premises against flooding
Dry leaves contain carbon.
When they are sent back to the soil, soil becomes carbon-rich.
Such soil can absorb good quantity of water during heavy rain fall events.
Utilizing dry leaves within premises will help reduce puddling during monsoon.
Breath cleaner air
With this course, you will manage dry leaves in your premises in eco-friendly manner. No more burning of leaves, no more smoke, no more harmful gases and pollution in the air around.
Never again pay to "get rid of dry leaves"
Some person approaches you and offers to get rid of dry leaves. You are charged a hefty amount to take away the leaves. These leaves are burnt of dumped somewhere on the outskirts of the city.
Instead, manage dry leaves within premises efficiently.
Never spend on fertilizers again
Do you have a garden in the society, institution premises?
Provide nutrients to your garden using dry leaves from your premises. You will not have to buy fertilizers. Save money
Conserve water
Mulching helps soil retain moisture. Mulching in garden, plant beds will save water.
Mulching in society premises will create patches of soil that will absorb rain water, will reduce puddling and run-off.
Start "growing your own food"
We all lead a very stressful, fast-paced life. But how about creating a small patch of green for yourself and family?
And best part is, you can do it using dry leaves from your own premises and wet waste from your kitchen. Almost with zero investment.
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.
