Badminton has always been a deeply-felt passion of mine and the only sport at which I excelled during my school days. I began playing badminton at the age of nine with a wooden racket, and now, as I look back, I realize how quickly time has passed.
I once stayed behind until the hall closed after a lengthy session of badminton with friends. As I looked around at the sheer number of shuttlecock tubes and shuttlecocks scattered across the floor and overflowing trash bins, I was struck by how much trash is generated after just one session of badminton games.
And it was at this moment that the idea for a green initiative emerged, as more and more people embrace sustainability and eco-friendliness in their daily lives, I hope that my "Zerowaste Badminton" initiative will become a catalyst for positive change and inspire others to adopt sustainable practices. By integrating environmental consciousness into the world of badminton, we aim to create a community that values both athletic excellence and responsible stewardship of our planet. Together, we can make a significant impact in promoting a greener future and nurturing a more sustainable world.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I wish you success in all your endeavors.

Reduce, reuse, recycle - it's easier than you think!
If you're looking for a natural and sustainable way to fertilize your garden, consider adding shuttlecock feathers to your compost.
These feathers are comprised of approximately 90% protein by weight, with around 15% nitrogen - making them an excellent source of nitrogen for plant growth.
Hence, adding feathers to compost can provide a source of protein for microorganisms in the compost pile, which in turn can benefit the overall health of the compost and the soil it is eventually applied to.
