Temjen Imna Along, Nagaland’s Minister of Higher Education and Tribal Affairs, is well known for his tweets which mostly highlight the unseen essence of the northeastern states of India. The tweets are both informative as well as quirky and tend to catch a lot of attention on social media. Along has now shared a picture of leak-proof bamboo water bottles made in the northeastern states of India. Bamboo has been widely used by the people of northeast India to make a wide range of household items such as cooking utensils and storage boxes.
Along tweeted two pictures that showed the beautifully crafted sustainable bottles made of bamboo and wrote, “Bamboo dene ka nahin, bamboo se pani peene ka…Known as green gold, bamboo has unlimited potential and its usage in creating eco-friendly products will do wonders for Mother Nature. Kudos to all entrepreneurs from NE India who are working to harness its true potential.”

Environmental degradation is one of the biggest challenges that face the world today. By replacing plastic bottles made with bamboo or any other environment-friendly material, we can stop the tonnes of plastic waste that is dumped daily. Yet, the transition to a more sustainable way of life is quite sluggish, and the majority of people find it difficult to make the switch. Tweets like this one could influence consumers to shift to more green options.
