How Indians Handle Millions Of Tons Of Temple Offerings | World Wide Waste
Jump to Connections
1,349,991 Views • Jan 24, 2024 • Click to toggle off description
Worshippers in India buy thousands of tons of flowers every day to give as offerings in temples. The rituals leave behind mountains of flower waste that often end up contaminating already troubled rivers with pesticides and harmful chemicals. One business is taking that waste and turning it into products like natural dyes used in garments that have been sold by Anthropologie; others are making fragrances and incense sticks.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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 fabric that they make from these flowers is awesome. I never would’ve thought to do something like that with flowers. I would definitely buy an outfit made like that.
