Ganjam District Promotes Green Vows Over Flowers
In Ganjam district, the Collector has asked government offices to stop using flower bouquets for New Year and other events.
Instead, they want people to do things that help the environment, like not using plastic and planting trees.
Visitors will be asked to make promises to protect nature.
A well-known environmentalist, Sudhit Rout, supports this idea and says it's important to stop plastic pollution.
He carries his own steel plate and glass to avoid plastic.
The goal is to make people more aware of how their actions affect the planet.
Ganjam Collector V Keerthi Vasan has banned floral bouquets in government offices for New Year and future events.
Visitors are encouraged to make eco-friendly pledges instead of offering flowers.
Suggested pledges include avoiding single-use plastics, conserving resources, and planting trees.
The initiative aims to promote sustainable practices and aligns with national environmental goals.
Sudhit Rout, known as the Green Man of Odisha, supports the initiative and emphasizes the importance of reducing plastic pollution.
