'Green Bappa' is the name we zeroed on this year for our eco-friendly ganesh utsav activities this year. And the sole activity we focused this year was the http://www.greenbappa.com/ website. Since 2009 TWIGG (Together We Initiate a Green Globe) and friends are working for creating awareness about impact of Ganesh chaturthi celebrations on the environment. We previously have conducted workshops on making ganesh idols, exhibitions of different kinds of idols and decorations to create awareness. This year we decided to reach more people through our online campaign.
We have worked hard for three months to conceptualise and collect the information for the website. Till now we have received quite a few good reviews on the look of the website which is attractive. There are many aspects of the eco-friendly ways to celebrate Ganesha chaturthi, we have mentioned like making eco-friendly decorations at home, or places to buy idols from. We have provided a list of locations that sell eco-friendly idols and decorations. There is also a video we created showing how to create shadu idol at home.
We still have many things which we would like to add in the website to make it more user friendly but it is taking time..Since the time the website is online, we are recieving mails from people who read about the information and would like to help us. It is really a heartening feeling seems like all the hardwork is worth the effort.
That's it for now...
Green Bappa Morya!
