How Indians Handle Millions Of Tons Of Temple Offerings | World Wide Waste

It's crazy how important water is to all life on Earth but humans just dump their trash into it so carelessly.

Coming from a perspective from growing up in religion, reusing and recycling these offerings seems more respectful to the planet that the gods watch over. Why pollute the nature that the gods carefully created? These people are caring about nature and, in the process, are respecting the gifts given to them by the gods. And the way they're reusing the flowers and everything really feels so much better from a god's point of view than just throwing it in the river. I mean, the flowers into incense? That's perfect and still goes to the gods. I love it.

Who else wants to see the place that grows all of these flowers?

Indians : "The Ganges is the most sacred of rivers". Also Indians : 11:18.

Waste management in India is to dump it ALL into the "holy river" and call it a ritual. Smh. India doesn't have to be this disappointing, but it is. It's so sad.

The incense and clothing company looks really cool. Liked how both companies thought outside the box to recycle the flowers. Would definitely like to buy the products in the future.

Wish Rupa and Adiv all the best! The brand deserves more appreciation and suppport.

The fact they can throw away their idols in the river once the festival is over blows my mind completely

Rupa is such a beautiful woman - I wish her all the best: success, love, and health. I am so sorry to hear of her struggles. Bless her!

Those fabrics are beautiful, what a fantastic way of preserving the temple offerings.

I purchased rose and lavender incense sticks from this brand and theyre so wonderful. My grandmother loved it. And what I loved so much about this brand is that they even give you seeds as a go green initiative. Ive received two marigold seeds and I'll plant them soon.

These are the unsung heroes who make India a responsible country. Thumbs up to them.

So much respect for Mrs. Rupa for creating such a caring and wonderful business and the other entrepreneurs working to create abundance from the stream of "waste" from the temples. 🙌

That thumbnail looks like a cover of a sick indian music MV

This is the most wholesome thing I've seen in a while. Hats off to these people! This is such a splendid work and God bless❤

Much strength to Rupa, I hope she is healthier now. All of them are doing a wonderful job❤

Hats off to these wonderful environmental heroes. They have initiated a great business path and also their approach will educate other people more attentive and sensitive on environmental issues.

All the best for the lady! Good to see people making little changes for the benefit of 🌍

God bless that genuinely kind hearted woman. Rupa.

Rupa is such a lovely person. Prayers for her complete recovery. 🌈
