Green Tatwa Talks Ep 60 – In conversation with Sustainable Ashwin

Low-Waste Living & Finding Solace in Nature 🌍🌳💚

Living a low-waste, conscious lifestyle isn’t just about reducing what we consume—it’s about nurturing a deeper connection with our environment. By composting, using bioenzymes, and choosing sustainable products, we close the loop on waste and create a balance that benefits both humanity and the planet.

But the magic of sustainability goes beyond waste reduction. Spending time in nature, hugging trees, and breathing under their leafy canopies has its own transformative power. Trees ground us, boost our mental health, and remind us of the beauty and resilience of life.

Whether it’s walking in the park, joining community tree events, or simply pausing to embrace a tree, nature offers a quiet refuge from our busy lives. Let’s care for our planet while cherishing the calming presence of trees.

How do you connect with nature? 🌱🌳

Nature demands a gift for everything that it gives, so what we have to keep doing, is returning [leaves & compost materials] back to the soil, then we’re continuously giving the gifts to nature, because we have a return cycle.
– Geoff Lawton

Exploring Sustainability and Composting with @Sustainable_Ashwin on Green Tatwa Talk 🌍💚

In our latest episode of Green Tatwa Talk, I had the pleasure of hosting Ashwin, a.k.a. @Sustainability_Hero, to dive into the world of sustainable living, composting, and the magic of bioenzymes. 🌱

Ashwin shared his inspiring journey towards low-waste conscious living and emphasized the interconnectedness of life—how the food we eat, the waste we create, and the health of our planet form a seamless cycle. He believes that mindful choices can restore the balance disrupted by overconsumption and climate change.

Ashwin’s Superpowers:

• 🌿 Composting Guru: Simplifying the art of turning organic waste into black gold.
• 🐛 Bioenzyme Specialist: Advocating natural alternatives for home cleaning and farming.
• 🌳 Tree Hugger Extraordinaire: Sharing how trees can be a haven for mental health and creativity.

One of his favorite tree memories was finding solace and inspiration in Cubbon Park, Bengaluru—a serene spot where tree lovers, readers, and artists gather for @cubbonreads and @cubbonpaints events. For Ashwin, trees are more than nature—they’re a connection to life itself.

Volunteering & Community Impact

Ashwin also dedicates his time to eco-initiatives like transforming community spaces into urban farms and participating in tree-planting drives with @SWMRTBengaluru and EFI (Environmentalist Foundation of India). His work at the Swachagraha Kalika Kendra Park demonstrates how small, intentional efforts can build greener neighborhoods. 🌍

Let Ashwin’s insights inspire you to embrace sustainability in your daily life. Together, we can heal our planet, one conscious decision at a time. 🌏💚 It was fun conversing with Ashwin and learning more about How he incorporates sustainability into his life. He shared his tree-hugging moments and composting tips with us!
