Mangaluru campaign urges eco-friendly Nagarapanchami
The Story in Brief
The Story in Brief
A campaign in Mangaluru is urging devotees to celebrate Nagarapanchami in an eco-friendly manner, as the festival marks the start of a series of regional celebrations. Deccan Herald reports the initiative aims to educate people on practical ways to cut plastic use during festivals.
The focus is on reducing plastic consumption during the festivities, which often generate significant waste. The campaign is reaching out to devotees with simple, actionable tips to minimise their environmental footprint while preserving tradition.
The Indian Opinion
Festivals are joyous, but they often come with a mountain of plastic waste. This campaign in Mangaluru is a sensible push to make devotion more responsible. Instead of vague appeals, it offers practical tips on cutting plastic use. Will other towns adopt similar measures? The real test is whether such campaigns lead to lasting change beyond one festival, or fade away once the celebrations are over.
