I am also trying to find local stores where I can carry
I am also trying to find local stores where I can carry my own dabbas for
groceries. We throw so much trash every day; zero waste lifestyle is something
to aspire towards. Small but definite steps will make tangible difference. The
shift has to happen in all our minds.Use a bamboo toothbrush instead of a
plastic one. Meanwhile, I attended an event in Bengaluru called Bhoomi Habba,
which revolves around sustainability and put up a stall of my books there. After
sending out the sketchbook, I also posted it on Instagram and got a good
feedback. I’ve become very conscious about getting even a packet of biscuit. I
am also inculcating these habits in my 4-year-old daughter.. It got a good
response at the event, and even on my website, The Hungry Palette. at

SangameswaranTalking about why people hesitate to adapt to a plastic-free life,
she says, "Because the alternatives are a little hard to come by.Use a
refillable fountain pen instead of plastic pen. Keep sturdy cloth bags handy and
use them till they wear out.Use steel cans to store wheat, pulses, rice etc. I
always carry a bag, water bottle and a bamboo straw. "I worked on the handbook
for three months, until April. Shubhashree Sangameswaran As a kid growing up in
the 80s, Shubhashree Sangameswaran remembers using steel tins and old jars of
health drinks to store groceries in the kitchen, taking a can or a bottle along
to get milk from the booth and generating much less waste than the generation
today.Subhashree signed up for ‘The Sketchbook Project’, a global crowd-sourced
art project wherein you order a sketchbook, fill it up with a theme, send it
back and it becomes part of the exhibit at the Brooklyn Art Library, New
York.â€Some of the illustrations from the handbookSharing a few tips, Shubhashree

plastic bags. A shopkeeper wouldn’t want to lose out on business if his customer
forgets to get a bag. When I read about her it got me thinking that their
lifestyle was not too different than how our parents and grandparents used to
live.Use menstrual cups or bio-degradable napkins or reusable cloth napkins
instead of sanitary napkin. At some point I wanted to do a series of
illustrations around it,†explains the Hyderabad-based freelance illustrator
