But every year, thousands of tonnes of flowers, idols, plastic, and puja waste enter India’s lakes and rivers — and remain there. India generates 8–10 million tonnes of religious & floral waste annually, much of it dumped into water bodies. The result? Toxic foam, dying aquatic life, and polluted drinking water. This isn’t about faith. It’s about responsibility. If cleanup is possible for entertainment, it’s possible for nature too. 🌊 #CleanOurLakes #CivicSense #FestivalWaste #SaveOurWater #EnvironmentalResponsibility IndiaNeedsChange"
The environmental impact of festivals in India is staggering, with millions of tonnes of waste dumped into our lakes and rivers every year. This pollution not only harms aquatic life but also contaminates our drinking water. We need to take collective responsibility and work towards a cleaner, greener future. By making small changes to our daily habits, we can make a significant impact and create a better tomorrow for our children.
