There were jug-glasses/collectors on the advisers’ meeting table
Bottled water is usually seen on the table in any meeting, seminar or meeting in our country. But a different picture was seen at the advisory council meeting held at Yamuna, the office of the chief adviser to the Interwar government on Thursday (August 29). There was no bottled water on the table that day. Jug-glass is seen instead.
It is known that such initiatives have been taken as a part of environmental awareness. And behind this initiative is Syeda Rizwana Hasan, Adviser on Environment, Forest and Climate Change. In his initiative, the chief adviser. After Muhammad Yunus gave approval, water was given in jugs instead of bottled water.
Shafiqul Alam, the press secretary of the chief adviser on the social media Facebook, said this information in a post.
Shafiqul Alam wrote in his Facebook post, “When I joined my new job at the Rashtriya Guest House Yamuna, there was bottled water everywhere. A half liter plastic bottle was seen on every dining table. Plastic bottles were being used in Yamuna, Chief Adviser’s office. But today there were jugs and glasses of water on the table at the weekly meeting of the advisory council.
He also wrote that Syeda Rizwana Hasan, Adviser on Environment, Forests and Climate Change took this initiative and asked the cabinet members to stop using plastic bottles. Principal Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus approved it and now the Yamuna can effectively be called a plastic bottle free zone. Initially, I thought, this is not possible. But it’s been almost a week that we don’t use plastic bottled water here.
