> a function planned for tomorrow (Sunday) morning... Thanks Rico. It is already Sunday and in around 8 hours from now Saligao will have its first, institutional, bio-degradeable, garbage disposal facility, using the globally acclaimed, EM1. Several enviromentally conscious villagers already have tiny, household units of their own. EM1, short for Effective Micro-organisms, is the latest international rage in dirt and waste management. It gobbles up garbage faster than you can say "compost", which is precisely what this Japanese bio-technology transforms all biodegradeable waste into. All one does is brew the original EM1 stock solution with jaggery for a week, dilute it and sprinkle it on each day's garbage. Abracadabra...and you have wealth from waste in 8 weeks flat! The Saligao Civic and Consumer Cell (SCCC) has been researching this technology for the last few months and now in collaboration with Mae de Deus Parish is ready to go public. While the village Church is showing the way with a 'demonstration unit' for its own kitchen, office and garden wastes, the SCCC will use the facility to teach villagers how to harvest granular gold from household garbage. At 9.30 later this morning, Captain Mathew Pereira of the Goa Foundation, who helped the SCCC with the know-how, will inaugurate the simple, masonry compost pits built behind the church. With this demonstration unit, the SCCC dreams of spreading composting culture to every house in the village. When all our biodegradeable garbage is turned into horticultural and agricultural nutrient, Saligao will not only be greener and more fruit-full, but have only plastic, glass and metal to export to the State's garbage disposal facility, when it is set up. Happy composting, Saligao!
