Indian Administrative Service officer, Supriya Sahu's recent video has gone viral. The clip showcases a one-of-a-kind "Green polling booth" in Tamil Nadu's Tirupathur District. This innovative booth, a collaboration between the District Collector and TN Climate Change Mission volunteers, highlights the state's commitment to sustainability.
Made with natural materials for shade and decoration, these eco-friendly booths - around 10 in total - are a refreshing sight and a testament to environmental consciousness.
These unique polling booths cleverly use coconut and bamboo leaves to create cool, natural shade. Adding a touch of local tradition, banana and palm leaves offer a warm welcome, making the voting experience both eco-friendly and culturally significant.
Additionally, the signs at these booths are made from hand-written cloth banners instead of flex material, promoting sustainability and minimizing plastic waste.
