Noted Actor and popular name among
AD-makers and filmmakers, Jay Thakkar is merely 19 years old but he is wiser
than his age. The young and bright artist didn’t just stop with Eco-Friendly
Ganpati Visarjan, he used the soil and water from the Idol, help sustain his
garden.
With pollution on the rise, Jay Thakkar decided
to take the Eco-Friendly Ganpati celebration to a whole new level.
During Ganpati Visarjan, Jay Thakkar interacted
with media and said, “Like always this year too we had taken an Eco-friendly
Ganpati Idol and gave it an Eco-farewell by submerging it inside a bucket full
of water. Later, when the idol got dissolved inside the water, I took that
muddy water and poured it onto the plants and trees of my complex's garden, so
now I can proudly say that not only I took an Eco-friendly Ganpati but I also
truly saved my water bodies from getting polluted from Visarjan”
“I watered my trees and plants, did no noise,
air or water pollution and helped in a better sustainable development of the
nature. I think as a responsible Eco-warrior, I can do simple things, if not
anything else"
