OUR APPROACH

We facilitate simple solutions

We believe in the power of building simple-yet-effective solutions to complex problems, to carry our message to every doorstep. This is in tandem with our motto – Change Starts At Home. Water is uniting, and so must be its conservation.

Why Waste? aims at changing the mindsets of people towards natural resources, specifiaclly water. With the increasing number of restaurants, Why Waste?’s primary goal is to reduce wastage of water in restaurants. Our pilot project #GlassHalfFull, has been a huge success with several restaurants adopting our trademarked idea along with organisations like NRAI and Change.org supporting it as well. 

With the help of our easy to follow modules for volunteers and restaurants, #GlassHalfFull has acclaimed the status of a global movement and is living a life of its own with a lot of huge endorsements. 

Beyond that we have also created concepts like our upcoming book, modules and app that keep up to our primary objective to create a more water positive environment where there is just enough for everyone. 

All our activities are youth-led and youth-driven.

— Our Story

Having just found out that 14 million litres were wasted by the glasses of water left behind at restaurants, fifteen year old Garvita Gulhati gave birth to the idea of Why Waste? The simple thought that the water wasted at a restaurant could be regulated by the water served led Garvita to personally start scouting around restaurants with a bunch of friends, trying to educate them on the water positivity they could bring to their service systems. The journey was riddled with months of disappointment and rejection. But each roadblock became a reason for Garvita and her team to pivot and take a more optimised solution to the next restaurant. And thus the #GlassHalfFull idea was born. With a specific solution in place, it became easier for restauranteurs to lend their ears to these teenagers. Months later, the idea had turned into a movement. Why Waste? now has volunteers across the country, working together to make the world a better place.
