Reflections - Tara Bapat Dec 2024

 

My name is Tara Bapat , I’m studying in class 9 A at Modern High School For Girls in Kolkata, West Bengal. 

Over the days creating 30 impactful Instagram posts for the Bioenzyme Entrepreneur Academy of India has allowed me to dive deeper into the importance of bio enzymes as sustainable, eco-friendly alternatives to harmful chemicals. It has pushed me to research a lot about the toxins hidden in everyday products like the deodorants, soaps, fertilizers, and cleaning agents we use.

They silently harm not just humans but the environment as well. Through this process, I realized how powerful small, conscious changes can be.

Exploring bio enzymes introduced me to their natural potential as safe solutions for cleaning, fertilizing, and even automotive coolant applications. It’s fascinating to see how simple, biodegradable ingredients can replace harsh chemicals, offering a better way to coexist with nature.

This experience expanded my perspective on sustainability. I became more aware of the products I use daily and their long-term effects. Writing catchy yet educational posts forced me to simplify complex information into easily digestible content, sharpening both my creativity and communication skills.

These posts were more than content,they were small steps toward a bigger change, both for the environment and for my own growth as a responsible person or citizen of Earth for a cleaner, healthier future.

Empowering the Future: 90-Day Children's Program for Climate Action

To foster a generation of environmentally conscious individuals, a unique 90-day program has been launched, beginning on Children’s Day and concluding on Valentine’s Day. This program is a collaborative initiative by several reputed organizations, including Itti’s Skill School Foundation, aimed at instilling eco-friendly habits and skills in children.

Under the theme “Happy. Healthy. Green.”, this initiative focuses on equipping children with practical, sustainable knowledge to address climate change and environmental challenges. The program offers a variety of engaging activities and workshops designed to make learning fun while fostering responsibility toward the planet.

Highlights of the Program:

• Practical Skills for Sustainability: Children are taught how to make bioenzymes, create a herb corner, grow their own food, and establish butterfly gardens, promoting self-sufficiency and biodiversity awareness.
• Waste Management: Activities like composting, segregation at source, and "Best out of Waste" workshops empower children to reduce and manage waste effectively.
• Chemical-Free Living: Students explore alternatives to toxic chemicals, advocating for safer homes and environments.
• Creative Engagements: Hands-on projects such as making no-stitch bags, bird feeders, and painting planters foster creativity while emphasizing reuse and recycling.

In an exciting initiative launched on Children’s Day 2024, the Bioenzyme Entrepreneurs Academy (BEA) partnered with Itti’s Skill Development School to create an engaging online program aimed at spreading awareness about bioenzymes among children and their parents.

As BEA's representative, I have conducted two interactive sessions under this program so far. These sessions are designed to simplify the science behind bioenzymes and highlight their environmental benefits. By involving children in hands-on activities and discussions, we aim to inspire them to adopt sustainable practices at a young age.

Parents have also been a part of these sessions, making it a holistic family learning experience. Together, we explore how bioenzymes can be incorporated into everyday life, from household cleaning to gardening, and how these small changes can contribute to a healthier planet.

The response has been truly encouraging. Children are not only excited to learn but are also eager to try making their own bioenzymes. Parents, on the other hand, appreciate the initiative for instilling environmental values in their kids.

This program is a wonderful step toward nurturing environmentally conscious future generations. As it progresses, we look forward to conducting more sessions, empowering young minds, and helping families make sustainable choices that benefit both their homes and the planet.

Plantation Drives and Bioenzyme Awareness in Bangalore - By Parul

In a heartfelt effort to promote sustainability and community well-being, I organized a series of plantation drives across 10 apartments in my locality in Bangalore. These drives were not just about planting trees but also about fostering conversations on eco-friendly practices.

During each drive, I took the opportunity to introduce the concept of bioenzymes, highlighting their benefits and uses in daily life. Many residents were intrigued to learn how kitchen waste could be turned into a powerful, chemical-free cleaning solution. To encourage them to try it out, I distributed free bioenzyme samples to those who showed interest.

The response was heartening, with many participants appreciating the dual effort of greening the environment and promoting sustainable living practices. These drives became a platform for building awareness, sharing knowledge, and strengthening community bonds over a shared vision of environmental responsibility.

The journey continues, as more residents are inspired to adopt bioenzymes and take small but impactful steps toward a greener future. Together, we are making a difference—one plant and one bioenzyme at a time!
