Help Wastepickers Combat Climate Change
AP’s partner in Delhi, the Chintan Environmental Research and Action Group, is helping wastepickers to organize, recycle and claim their rights - and in the process offset emissions of carbon that are produced by landfills and garbage.
In 2009, with the help of two Peace Fellows, AP and Chintan will help a wastepicker community to take their message of social justice and community-based recycling to the international community, and in doing so influence new mechanisms to combat climate change.
