Stall To Use Eco-Friendly Items This Year at Koti Chennaya Jodukere Kambala: Check Out
As many as 150 stalls will be put up at the Koti Chennaya Jodukere Kambala, which will be held on Saturday. In order to ensure that the Moodbidri Kambala is a zero-waste one, the authorities have held meetings with vendors.
The material has been procured. Cloth bags are being stitched by the students of the Spoorthi Special School, for which cloth merchants are providing the fabric. If successful, this would be the first of its kind zero-waste event being held on such a large scale in the country. The concept was introduced last year but is being systematically planned and implemented this year.
Vendors selling soda sherbet have agreed to replace plastic cups with fibre ones. About 75,000 to one lakh cups of soda sherbet are sold during the event. The alternatives have been procured from various places, including Mumbai. Vendors have agreed to sell watermelon pieces in cups made from areca, and sweet corn, and omelette on plates made from leaves. The TMC will also put up a stall with eco-friendly items available for purchase.
