And even as we read these news reports, we leave the taps running for no reason at all. Every year, we Mumbaikars are told horror stories of how the lakes have water for just one more month and that there will be water cuts. We might see a million ads that talk about saving water but we are the first ones to go skipping to a rain dance for a Holi party. It’s not just about our personal possessions, but about the natural resources we use so carelessly. Since new replacements are so cheap, we choose to throw away our stuff rather than reinvest in it. We make no effort to repair something broken, or tune something that needs a helping hand. With our possessions becoming old in just six months, we are living in the Waste Age. We like to discard more and save less.

Why should we repair a TV when repairing will cost Rs 5,000 and you can buy a brand new TV for Rs 10,000? I should buy a new phone because my phone is outdated – it is two years old!īut now I wonder – do things really become old in two years? When we were children, ‘two years’ was a healthy amount of time for our possessions – they were just about new if they were two years old, and far from old. Our generation believes in and appreciates the boon of abundance. I am sure that most of us have had such experiences and looked at our parents’ generation through a faintly critical lens. He is the one who also instilled values in us about walking home to save money and getting valuable exercise at the same time. Whether it has been the TV, his scooter and even his cupboard. His mantra in life has always been to optimise usage of the things that we purchase. My father has always taught us sustainability. How did I arrive at this name? This name was not self-realised but rather, it came about because of my father. And why not, since our history textbooks taught us to follow nomenclatures? We had the Dark Ages, Industrial Age, Jet Age, and several others, and so I would like to add another one to the list with Waste Age.

We human beings have this tendency to name the era we are living in. What gives us the right to pollute the environment and show scant regard for natural resources? What’s with the disrespect? by Jatin Sharma | on Twitter
