Let's choose seeds, not gunpowder
The "Beej Parv" initiative, presented by Gram Art Project, offers a nature-friendly alternative to firecrackers. The initiative's message is: "Let's choose seeds, not gunpowder."
Beej Parv features "seed crackers," made from recyclable materials, produced in a waste-free environment, and containing living seeds. These seed crackers, unlike traditional firecrackers, do not harm birds and animals as they do not cause noise, light, and air pollution. Instead, they are nature-friendly and habitat-regenerating.
The process of using these seed crackers is also simple. They simply need to be sown in the soil and watered regularly. After some time, they germinate and transform into beautiful plants. These plants can be preserved and reused. Thus, Gram Art Project has presented an inspiring initiative to make festivals environmentally friendly and meaningful, inspiring society to adopt a conscious, responsible, and nature-friendly lifestyle.
