    What a forward thinking, eco friendly & life enhancing vision from our dear minister krishnanna. plastics though utilitarian and cheap ,is very harmful & destructive in the long run. we all agree & know the bad effects of plastic, its time we make a conscious effort to stop plastic & use natural biodegradable materials like cloth, paper, plant derivatives, etc. the minister is making a very thoughtful suggestion to use plantain leaves & avoid the buffet system in temples.

    It is very heartening to see the minister trying to go back to nature. encouraging people to plant trees & specially the holy areas of temples to be green.

    I AM ALWAYS A FAN OF KRISHNANNA. BUT WITH HIS NEW VISION IN A NEW PORTFOLIO. ,IT MAKES ME EVEN MORE SO.................
    VERY HAPPY & HOPEFUL THAT THE HOLY GROUNDS REMAIN & TRANSFORM INTO MORE HOLY , GREEN, CLEAN ,& HEALTHY GROUNDS.
    I AM SURE ALL THE NICE PEOPLE OF OUR BELOVED STATE WILL RESPOND TO OUR MINISTERS REQUEST............LOVE YOU ALL....
