  "account": "The Punjab government is encouraging residents to turn kitchen waste into compost instead of disposing of it with regular household garbage, through the Chief Minister Punjab Green Credit Program. On World Cleanup Day, the administration called upon citizens to gather organic waste like fruit and vegetable peels, eggshells and other biodegradable materials at home and transform it into useful compost material. Citizens who diligently collect kitchen waste and transform it into compost can earn three Green Credits, worth Rs. 30,000 under the program. The government explained that composting can help decrease household waste while generating a natural substance that can be utilized for plants, gardens and other gardening tasks. The Green Credit Program aims to motivate citizens to embrace environmentally responsible practices and engage in actions that can assist in maintaining a clean and green Punjab. With the theme \"Kitchen Waste, Compost and Greener Punjab,\" the administration highlighted the importance of uncomplicated eco-friendly practices in daily life in contributing to a cleaner and healthier society. The announcement about the reward for composting kitchen waste was originally published on ProPakistani.",
