[FREE REPORT] MY GREEN BIRTHDAY

by Ananya Singh | 31-07-2019 22:41 recommendations 1

Hi everyone, I thought of sharing with you all a glimpse into how I celebrated my birthday this year.

As an Ambassador for Green Environment, Energy Savings, and Sustainable Development, I was determined to celebrate my birthday this year in the most environment-friendly way possible. 

So, on 26 July 2019, I turned 21 years old. And this was a special birthday. My 1st birthday as a Tunza Eco-Generation Ambassador. And I did the following things to send an eco-friendly message to my family, friends and acquaintances :

1. I switched off all electronic appliances (all lights and fans in my house especially) for 3 hours in the evening to send a strong message of judicious use of energy resources. What lighted my birthday were eco-friendly, biodegradable candles that didn't pollute the environment.

2. I'd specifically urged my family and friends to not bring me flowers/bouquets. This was to spread awareness about something I personally feel very attached to - should we really cut down plants, chop down stems, and pluck flowers for the sole sake of entertainment & frolic for a few hours ? Killing flora was the last thing that I'd personally want someone to do. So, I said no to bouquets. Rather I insisted them to bring me saplings, if they're so keen on gifting me flowers - let them gift me flowering plants. I'll water them everyday and give them a chance to bloom & flourish every day. My mother actually gifted me a neem sapling. I've planted it right infront of house since a lot of trees have been uprooted due to the recent typhoon - Fani.

3. I turned vegetarian for a day. I said no to killing of animals on my birthday. I didn't eat any meat/poultry/animal products on my birthday and requested my family to do the same as well. 

4. I used public transport and walked wherever possible so as to conserve fuel. And since then, I've continued to use public transport for commuting on a daily basis. 

So, this is how I, a Tunza Eco-Generation Ambassador, celebrated her birthday. I urge you all to consider the idea of Green Birthdays and thus, quickly spread across the message of environmentalism.

    It is so thoughtful of you to celebrate your birthday in environment-friendly ways. From reducing electricity consumption to urging your family and friends not to bring flowers, you did a wonderful job to save the earth. You definitely motivated me to do the same! Keep up the good work!
