We offer flowers at places of worship symbolizing our love and belief. Showering flowers is a religious ritual in India. Flowers are a symbol of devotion and reverence, and it is believed that the flowers should be discarded into water bodies to respect their sanctity. But no one think of the aftermath? Every year approximately 80, 00,000 tons of waste flowers are dumped in the rivers choking them to death Sadly, these sacred flowers rot in rivers – killing fishes and creating havoc in the fragile ecosphere of the water body and cause enormous pollution. The pesticides and chemical fertilizers used to grow flowers mixes with the river water making it highly toxic. We always tend to blame the industrial waste but never give a think to flower pollution. Ankit and Karan were shocked and sad with the magnitude of the problem. They developed several ways to utilize these disposed flowers to ensure that devotion doesn’t turn into pollution, and hence the company helpusgreen was born.
At helpusgreen they collect these flowers and recycle them into awesome – bio fertilizer, Incense, bathing bars etc. Helpusgreen products not just reduce the flower waste but bring a bit of divine your home. Their work is based on our love for Nature and chemical free life. Helpusgreen is a step towards pollution free rivers!!
