Small steps today can lead to big changes tomorrow.
As Google Local Guides, we’re not just mapping places—we’re helping make the world a better place to live in. Alongside contributing to Google Maps, we actively take part in initiatives like tree plantation, recycling, and plastic collection to support our environment.
One simple change we can make together is reducing single-use plastic at events and gatherings. Items like plastic plates and cutlery are used once and thrown away, creating massive waste and long-term harm to our planet.
There are easy, eco-friendly alternatives. Using banana leaves or areca palm leaf sheaths instead of plastic plates, and natural materials like jute stems or reeds for trays, can significantly reduce environmental damage.
কলাপাতা দেখে আমার খালি একটা স্বপ্নের / ইচ্ছের কথা মনে পড়ে গেল , আমার একটা ইচ্ছা আছে যে মোটা চাল আর খেজুরের রস দিয়ে পায়েস রান্না করব কোন এক অজপাড়া গায়ের মসজিদের পাশে এর পর জুম্মার নামাজের শেষে কলাপাতা নিয়ে মসজিদের বাহিরে রাস্তায় বসে থাকব আর আমারে এক চামচ গরম পায়েস দিবে । এখন ও যে মানুস কলা পাতা তে খায় দেখে ভাল লাগল @NasimJ
Seeing food served on banana leaves really makes me nostalgic. I remember enjoying this kind of food at small social functions as a child. Sadly, these practices are slowly disappearing with modern habits. @NasimJ You have raised a very important point, that such small, thoughtful steps can really make a big difference in making our planet habitable. Well said and inspiring.
The great feature @NasimJ you have portrayed for saving our mother earth and sure its our responsibility for practicing that need to starts from today.
