Waste Management
Swachh Kokari Sundar Kokari
Ek Saath Foundation in collaboration with BMC F - North ward aims at turning the slum settlement in Kokari, Wadala, into a zero waste settlement. Hence, it is a need of the hour to convert the community into a zero-waste settlement. Turning Kokari into a zero-waste settlement will not only prevent the waste from entering the landfill or staying in and around the community but will also improve the living conditions of people. 75% of the litter on Mumbai's city beaches is plastic. By making Kokari a zero-waste settlement, we will be preventing plastic waste from entering into the ocean through the nullah.

Waste Management
Elephanta Island
Elephanta Island, also known as Gharapuri Island, nestled in Mumbai Harbor, shines as a vibrant showcase of India's diverse cultural heritage. Renowned for its ancient rock-cut temples, notably the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Elephanta Caves, the island draws thousands of visitors daily, making it one of Maharashtra's top 10 tourist destinations. Despite its historical significance, the island faces a critical issue- waste management challenges endanger its delicate ecosystem.
Beach Cleanup
Carter Cleanup
Carter Clean Up, started on 24th June 2021, is a movement that believes in minimizing the plastic footprint, so that we can enjoy mother nature in her most natural form. Carter Road is a popular 3.5km long stretch in Bandra with a beach and mangroves on one side along the coast in Mumbai. This stretch warrants attention for two main reasons- The beach part is drowning in plastic and illegally dumped construction debris. The mangroves are choked in plastic to the extent that trees are dying and the spread is getting limited.

To make Bandra a plastic-free zone, which understands the importance of recycling, and sustainability and follows an ideal waste disposal model
