– Eco-friendly decorations were provided from upcoming venture Green Utsav. Green Utsav takes back the decorations and reuses them for the next event.
– LED screen display was used as a stage backdrop to AVOID FLEX
– Flower bouquets for chief guest were given without plastic wrap.
– Waste generated was duly segregated.
– Hot beverages for guests were provided in reusable cutlery from upcoming venture Rent-a-cutlery.
– Dinner was provided in reusable plates.
– Wet waste generated went into the compost bin.
– The Used tetra packs will be provided to Joy at Work, that upcycles waste

Little Elly has truly set the right example for their budding minds and a great example for others to emulate! A lesson for all of us that events big or small can be conducted WITHOUT generating trash!
