BMC’S ECO-FRIENDLY STALL AT ASTA SALE at St. Teresa's College (Autonomous), Ernakulam
As part of the Asta Sale conducted at St. Teresa’s College, Ernakulam, the Bhoomitrasena Club (BMC) once again demonstrated its commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility by setting up a dedicated stall featuring eco-friendly food packaging alternatives.
The Asta Sale, a much-anticipated event that brings together a variety of student-led enterprises and creative ventures, saw enthusiastic participation from all departments. Amid this vibrant atmosphere of commerce and collaboration, the BMC’s stall stood out by offering environmentally sustainable packaging solutions for the food and beverage counters at the event.
The Event was coordinated by the Green Protocol Team, led by Ms. Praveena Meenskshi P P, to promote and popularize eco-friendly, biodegradable, and reusable alternatives to conventional plastic and non-recyclable food packaging materials.
Highlights of the BMC Stall:
· Display and distribution of paper-based and leaf containers, cloth food wraps, leaf plates, and compostable cutlery
· Awareness boards explaining the environmental impact of single-use plastics
· Live demonstration of sustainable food packing practices for vendors and students
· Collaboration with student entrepreneurs to encourage the adoption of green packaging
· Several stalls at the Asta Sale opted for the eco-friendly packaging provided by BMC, reducing the use of disposable plastic significantly during the event
· Visitors appreciated the practical, affordable, and sustainable alternatives showcased.
· The initiative aligned with the college’s broader Green Protocol and strengthened its commitment as a certified Green Campus.
This effort by the Bhoomitrasena Club reflects its core vision of enabling change at the grassroots level through simple, actionable solutions. The stall not only supported the environmental goals of the Asta Sale but also served as a model for future college events to adopt zero-waste, planet-friendly practices.
