Sahibganj family prints wedding invites on plant pots to promote conservation
1 2 3 Ranchi: A scheduled marriage function at Master Colony-based Singh family on June 4 has become the talk of the town in Sahibganj district for the past few days. The reason is not due to the lavish, big- fat Indian wedding, but for the green cause this family is spreading for their daughter's wedding ahead of the World Environment Day on June 5. Bride Jigyasa Singh's four brothers, came up with an innovative idea of devising her wedding invitation. Rather than going for high-end, fancy invitation cards, they went on to distribute indoor plant saplings with wedding card printed on the pots. Talking to TOI, Chandan, one of the brothers of the bride said, "Environment conservation shouldn't just be the job of the govt or NGOs working for it. Unless, each one of us living on this earth takes up the collectively responsibility, things won't change. Climate change has now become a local phenomenon, which is impacting all. Hence, while brainstorming on wedding preparations, we decided to keep things simple, and green to send a message. " The idea for sapling pot based wedding card came from Sujit, Jigyasa's another brother, added Chandan. Sujit also runs a nursery in Sahibganj. Their father, Amir Prasad retired from the state animal husbandry department. "All that we had to do is to design wedding invitation and get it printed on a sheet. That has been rolled on the sapling pots which we began distributing for inviting guests," he said, adding that invitations have also been extended to many govt officials here. Over 400 such pots (costing up to Rs 150 each) with wedding information, has been distributed since last fortnight. . "We distributed various saplings such as lipstick aglaonema, Madhukamni, Beli among others.," he said.
