From HR Head to Eco-Warrior: Parul Sharan's story

How do we stop our world from becoming a "mountain of plastic"? 🌍 In today’s episode, we sit down with Parul Sharan, the founder of Eco_MargDarsak and a passionate sustainability educator. Parul shares her incredible journey from a high-level HR career to leading a movement for waste management and conscious living. We dive deep into: 🌱 Why "waste management" is just another form of leadership. 🌱 Lessons in sustainability from small-town India. 🌱 How to start composting even if you live in a tiny apartment. 🌱 Busting myths about "eco-friendly" items like paper cups. 🌱 Making the world better for the next generation. Key Takeaways: • Sustainability as a Heritage: Parul reflects on her childhood in Munger, Bihar, noting that "sustainability" wasn't a buzzword then; it was a way of life (using newspaper bags, milling their own wheat, and repurposing old clothes). • The "Waste Management" Mindset: She brilliantly reframes her career shift, explaining that she hasn't left "Management" behind; she’s simply moved from managing people to managing waste and resources. • The Turning Point: The sight of "garbage mountains" and the birth of her son, Vidit, sparked her mission to ensure the next generation inherits a beautiful world, not a landfill. • Practical Solutions: She addresses the "intent vs. action" gap, discussing the challenges of urban composting and the need for Sustainability Managers in every residential society. • The 3 P’s: Parul emphasises the importance of Patience, finding the right Product (eco-friendly alternatives), and having a supportive Partner in the journey toward change. Parul’s story is a powerful reminder that while habits are hard to break, every small switch, from carrying a cloth bag to choosing leaf plates, creates a massive ripple effect.
