Using your earth points
Use of all hand made paper or its products, planting saplings and using eco- bags will earn you high earth points. You can barter your recyclables with Vatavaran to get any of these. Higher earth points would be given to those who bring their recyclables to Vatavaran. However the barter will depend upon the amount and kind of waste brought.
