CHINTAN ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH & ACTION GROUP

Our mission is to ensure consumption is more responsible and less burdensome on the planet and the poor. We strive to reduce waste and unsustainable consumption and enable better management of that waste which is generated. We also focus on fighting air pollution through making science and policy more accessible to everyone, thus creating public vigilance and action. In all our work, vulnerable populations-the poor, the marginalized, children and women-will remain the sharpest on our radar... Yet, we are not your usual contractors. Chintan works with waste recyclers, especially wastepickers, to change the social impact of solid and electronic waste on their lives. From being poisoned by these wastes, they learn to profit from them... This is our training programme. Chintan offers a range of trainings that are either hands-on, or to help understand and use the law. We train individuals, communities and institutions to reduce consumption and waste, segregate, recycle and compost.
