This document outlines a vision for developing students' leadership skills to address environmental issues through innovative solutions. A fellowship program would place young adults in schools across 10 cities to engage with 3000+ students on problems like waste, water, energy and sanitation. By interacting with students and developing grassroots solutions, the fellows would undergo behavioral change themselves and help trigger change in students. The program aims to create a consortium of green institutions to make a measurable positive environmental impact and social impact at scale. It highlights some initial successes in schools and outlines plans to scale up the program and make it self-sustaining with support from private organizations, corporations, and the government.

Easy composting at home with De’Grade:
Coco peat-based powder
Packed with a combination of naturally
available microbes to turn wet waste into
organic manure through an aerobic process
Composting can be done in any aerated
container
Easy large scale composting with Up’Grade:
Coco peat-based powder
Shredded kitchen waste undergoes aerobic
composting in larger volumes
Ideal for community based composting.

Waterless urinals
Greywater harvesting
Low cost solution for government
school urinals:
Inverted 20 lt water jar, lined
with oil
Urine being heavier than oil, goes
below without releasing smell
A fresh layer of oil is put every
2 weeks
Low cost solution for greywater
harvesting:
Upper section of 20 lt water jars
used to make basins
PVC pipelines
Sieve inserted to block
particulate matter
Greywater collected for reuse in
gardening/toilets
