Excerpt:
The already-released episode talks about Vani’s journey in the composting world and her interest in terrace gardening and sustainable living as a whole. “When I first started composting in 2007, I failed miserably,” the 60-year-old tells Metrolife. But those failures didn’t discourage her. “When you understand how much produce we waste and how much of our food waste can be reused, it encourages you to lead a sustainable life. For me, composting is the rent I pay for living on this planet,” she says.
She aims to spread the importance of composting through her social media presence, which has gone from strength to strength.
Fond of documenting her life through pictures, she started posting details about her zero-waste lifestyle on Facebook. “But, now I have fully moved to Instagram. It was difficult to maintain two social media accounts at the same time. I’m very fond of Instagram and the format of reels,” she says.
She shoots and edits her videos herself and from 3,000-odd followers before the pandemic, the number has reached an encouraging 2,38,000, making her a popular zero-waste influencer.
