As we bid farewell to 2024 and usher in the promise of a new year, we at the Trash Monger Initiative for Green and Waste-Free Societies (IGWAS) reflect on a year of remarkable progress and areas of unrealized potential in our collective journey towards sustainability.
Celebrating the Active
2024 has been a year of inspiring actions and impactful decisions. Across our communities, we’ve witnessed individuals, organizations, and governments embracing the urgency of sustainability. From local cleanups and waste sorting campaigns to innovative recycling initiatives and renewable energy adoption, the momentum has been truly encouraging.
To everyone who sorted their waste, planted a tree, reduced their carbon footprint, or advocated for eco-friendly practices—we salute you. You have proven that small actions, when multiplied by millions, can transform the world.
Acknowledging the Inactive
At the same time, we recognize that not everyone could actively participate in green living efforts this year. Life’s challenges often make it difficult to prioritize sustainability. To those who were unable to take action, know that it’s never too late to begin. Sustainability is a collective responsibility, and every contribution counts, no matter how small.
A Greener Vision for 2025

As we step into 2025, let’s commit to doing better, together. Whether you’re an active participant looking to scale your efforts or someone just starting your journey, there’s room for everyone in the mission to make our planet greener.
Here are simple ways you can make a difference in the new year:
- Sort waste at the source: Ensure recyclable materials don’t end up in landfills.
- Support local green initiatives: Volunteer, donate, or simply spread the word.
- Adopt eco-friendly habits: Reduce single-use plastics, save energy, and embrace sustainable transportation options.
- Educate yourself and others: Awareness is the first step toward action.
Together, We Can Achieve More

At IGWAS, we remain committed to driving impactful programs and supporting communities’ sustainability efforts. But we can’t do it alone. We need your energy, creativity, and dedication to build a world where green living is not the exception but the norm.
Let’s make 2025 a year of bold actions and meaningful changes. Our planet is counting on us. Here’s to a greener, healthier, and more sustainable year ahead!
Happy New Year from all of us at IGWAS!
