Er. M. Venkatachalam, in his speech, pointed out that the earth was not a property that we inherited but the debt we owe to our coming generations and hence we should safely hand it over to them. Of the total biomass on the earth, human beings represented only 0.01%, but consume almost all resources on Earth.
He highlighted the fact that no physical material can be classified as waste as every object has some value. With proper technology we can always reuse or recycle them, he said. Similarly, construction and demolition waste called C&D waste in technical parlance can always be recycled into something useful.
