He highlighted that this initiative, aligned with the Mission LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment), encourages every Indian to adopt sustainable practices and firmly reject single-use plastics, according to a Raj Bhavan statement.

Parnaik emphasised that Arunachal Pradesh, known for its dense forests and rich cultural heritage, is among India’s greenest treasures.

With this natural gift, comes the duty to protect and preserve it. As the nation embraces this campaign, Arunachal Pradesh should set an example by moving from awareness to meaningful action, the governor said.

He urged citizens to reduce single-use plastics, promote eco-friendly alternatives, and practise responsible waste segregation and recycling.
