Say no to polythene [Ranchi]

RANCHI: For the first time in Jharkhand, residents appear to have become quite conscious about contributing to the environment.

Though various environment-related drives have been launched by social activists and the government, too, creates awareness regarding that, less people reciprocate to these efforts.

One such effort has been made by the proprietor of Angithi restaurant, Mihir Topno. Inspired by eco-friendly ideas, he parcels meals to his customers in tissue bags.

Topno said: "Apart from being environment-friendly, tissue bags keep food warm for a longer duration. Polythene packets are generally used for throwing away household garbage and end up in garbage dumps. They pollute the environment. So, we thought why not give something to our customers which they can use for a better purpose. Moreover, even when it is thrown away, it won't harm the environment."

Customers too are quite happy. A customer, Rita Kachhap, said, "It is nice to see that they have come up with such a nice concept."

Another shop to show such an effort is an optical house. Its proprietor Amit said, "I had read many articles regarding the harmful effects of polythene. So, I decided to switch to tissue bags."

That apart, apartment residents are also contributing towards the environment in their own way. Enlightened by awareness campaigns and television advertisements, they are now trying to save power. One of the residents, Asha Hirani, said, "I learnt from a TV advertisement that keeping air-conditioner on sleep mode at night saves power. I discussed about it with my kitty ladies group and we have started keeping our air-conditioners in sleep mode at night."

Bindu, a resident of Anugrah Enclave, Naya Toli, said, "I keep the temperature of my AC in the range of 24-26 degrees. Apart from being environment-friendly, it also reduces my electricity bill." For Reprint Rights: timescontent.com
