๐บ Can the flowers offered to Goddess Durga help build a cleaner, greener Kolkata?
In an exclusive interview with **Lifeplus Arts & Cultural Magazine**, I spoke with Rajshree Guha, a Rotarian and nature lover, and Soumyendu Ganguly, Secretary of the Rotary Club of Calcutta Renaissance and Chief Engineer of Techno India Group, about an inspiring community initiative: Clean Green Kolkata Puja. ๐ฟ
The vision goes far beyond flower recycling. What happens to the thousands of flowers offered during Durga Puja after the celebrations end? Instead of allowing these sacred offerings to become landfill waste, could they be transformed into incense cones, organic manure, handmade paper, candles, and other useful eco-friendly products?
๐ฑ That is just the beginning of this initiative.
Supported by the spirit of Rotary and community participation, the project also aims to encourage waste segregation at Puja venues, reduce plastic pollution, create livelihood opportunities for NGOs and self-help groups, and inspire citizens to work towards a zero-waste community.
With several Puja committees expressing interest, the initiative raises an important question: **Can our greatest cultural celebrations become a powerful platform for environmental awareness and lasting social change?**
Discover the people behind this vision, their plans for flower recycling, their efforts to involve Puja committees and volunteers, and their aspiration to create a more sustainable future for Kolkata.
