Who are “Green buddies”?
“Every child has the fundamental right to play.” Children today do not have enough room to play. They consequently become bored and spend their time and energy on TV, phones, and other devices. With this in mind, Founder Anuya Trivedi established the “Green Buddies” business, where she and her company produce eco-designed, affordable “Recycled Play Stations” for kids, increasing their access to playgrounds. Green buddy strives to be sustainable at heart, and have served its exceptional purpose by creating designs that speak louder than words.
Founder’s background
Founder and environmentalist, Anuya Trivedi, was motivated to step outside her comfort zone and it was only then that Green Buddies was born. She was wanted to make the world a better place and she found her calling in this creative and unconventional space. A student of pharmacy who pursued her degree from SRMSCET Bareilly, she always wanted to do something extraordinary and in her quest of living her dreams, along with her grit and determination, led her to be one of India’s most influential personalities.
The Concept
The purpose of using tires is to increase their recycling, since, as per the various studies only 7% of the used tires go into recycling and the rest are either burnt or go to landfill. The burning of rubber has huge ramifications on the environment because rubber smoke carries a huge amount of carbon monoxide.
They use tires and other reusable scraps to create play stations, this reduces the effects of the hazardous practices of dumping or burning the tires.
