The video showcasing the eco-friendly rice bran containers was retweeted by Shashi Tharoor and he also had an important message to share.
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has shared an informative video about biodegradable and eco-friendly containers made from rice bran. The video, originally shared on Twitter by Principal Secretary Environment Climate Change & Forests of Tamil Nadu, Supriya Sahu, shows the manufacturing of the said containers. This applies across the country & not just TN. Various such innovations are in the works that would replace plastics with recyclable, bio-degradable materials. GoI needs to provide incentives to scale up production of such eco-friendly alternatives for daily use. https://t.co/YfITyIP6YI The main problem with all sustainable products is the cost involved.The government can only subsidise upto a point. People need to take responsibility and choose wisely.Rather than subsidies the government should invest in R&D to bring down costs. This is really such a good innovation. The use of ths product would definitely reduce our dependency on plastic products. Is it affordable and what about raw materials for this. Very very interesting. Such eco-friendly substitutes are the need of the hour.
The clip has received much appreciation from netizens.
