‘Kuppai Thiruvizha’: Chennai Exhibition Showcasing Eco-Friendly and Reusable Products

Event Overview

CAG organizes an annual exhibition. It takes place at Justice Basheer Ahmed Sayeed College for Women in Chennai. The event falls under CAG’s Climate Action Month campaign. Twenty-four stalls join from Chennai and nearby districts. Each stall shows eco-friendly, reusable products. The event stresses a need for sustainable living.

Highlights of the Exhibition

Exhibitors display innovative items. Cloth scraps become utility kits through donated tailor fabric. Palm leaves form lovely jewellery. Reusable straws and everyday items encourage safe practices. Organic, farm-fresh vegetables support the cause. Textile waste joins fast fashion as a growing environmental worry.

Key Messages and Participants

Amathul Azeez, the Principal, opens the event. A. Samsunisa serves as the college coordinator. S. Saroja from CAG and Geo Damin from Poovulagin Nanbargal also attend. Geo Damin highlights a common problem: single-use plastics harm our world. He points to non-recyclable sachets in shampoos and food. He calls popular fixes like plastic roads and bioplastics “greenwashing.” His words warn that these ideas boost microplastic pollution instead of reducing waste.

Environmental Context

The exhibition meets climate action goals. It helps consumers and industries rethink waste and product lifecycles. Reusable materials take centre stage. The event warns about the hazards of fast fashion and plastic waste. Such efforts work toward sustainable consumption and a healthier climate.
