Jeevadara blood bank director urges for plastic-free nation
M ysuru: Jeevadara Blood Bank director Girish on Friday called on people to create a plastic-free nation and suggested planting saplings to protect and nurture the environment. He urged the creation of a plastic-free nation and the promotion of environmental protection. He was addressing a gathering during an awareness programme organised as part of World Environment Day at Devaraja Market in the city. The event was organised by Mysore City Corporation, KMPK Charitable Trust and Jeevadara Blood Bank with the theme 'Drop Plastic Bags, Pick Up Cloth Bags'. Girish said when going to shops or markets, people should use eco-friendly bags made of cloth instead of plastic covers. Waste management should start at home by separating wet and dry waste to prevent pollution. "We must remember our responsibility to nurture the plants we grow." He also suggested walking or using bicycles instead of vehicles for nearby places. Former corporator Pramila Bharat highlighted that plastic usage harms the environment. Even educated people use plastic, damaging the environment despite knowing its importance. "Therefore, we must protect the environment and pass it on as a gift to future generations. The slogan 'Grow trees, grow the nation' should become a reality," she said. Free cloth bags were distributed to customers and traders to raise awareness about the hazards of plastic.

Neglecting environment will lead to destruction: Seer
Hassan: Shravanabelagola Jain Mutt seer Abhinava Charukeerthi Bhattaraka Swami said that if the environment is neglected, it will eventually lead to the destruction of humanity.

He said India is a country that worships nature, including trees, plants, stones, soil, and rivers. "Our ancestors gave environment a divine and revered status. Everything that cannot be created by humans is part of the environment, and it is regrettable that in the rush of modernity, humans are destroying environment today," he said. He emphasised that it is our duty to protect and raise awareness about the environment to ensure that future generations have access to essential clean air and water.

CII Mysuru clean up drive today to mark World Environment Day
Mysuru: The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Mysuru chapter, in collaboration with Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) and Young Indians (Yi), will lead a clean-up drive on Saturday to mark World Environment Day . Under the theme Namma Mysuru, Swachha Mysuru, the initiative aims to promote sustainability, restore ecosystems, and highlight the urgent issue of plastic pollution across India. The clean-up will be conducted from 7am to 9am along the Mysuru Ring Road, followed by an awareness session at Maharaja's College Grounds from 10am to 10.30am. The session will gather environmentalists, educators, industry leaders, and students to discuss sustainable urban practices. A post-session breakfast will offer space for networking and reflection. India produces over 3 million tonnes of plastic waste annually, much of it unmanaged and polluting public spaces. Despite Mysuru's reputation for cleanliness, rapid urbanisation continues to strain waste systems. This campaign goes beyond cleaning—it aims to reshape public behaviour on consumption and disposal. The initiative seeks lasting impact by embedding sustainability into daily life. The session will address reducing single-use plastics, encouraging recycling, and advocating for policies supporting a circular economy. CII Mysuru encourages joint action between industry, academia, and civil society. CII Mysuru invited institutions, industry bodies, NGOs, and citizens to participate and commit to sustainable practices.
