Did you know bamboo used to be called a tree? Until 2017, cutting it without permission could get you fined or jailed. But now, it’s classified as grass, which means farmers can grow, cut, and sell bamboo freely.

This change has opened new opportunities! Farmers can earn more by turning bamboo into paper, furniture, or eco-friendly building materials.

Bamboo grows fast, regrows after cutting, and absorbs a lot of carbon dioxide, helping fight climate change.

Why is bamboo special?
1. Grows back on its own, no replanting needed.
2. Ready to harvest in just 3 years.
3. Strong like steel but lightweight.
4. Helps reduce pollution in construction.

With cities growing and more houses being built, bamboo could be the perfect green solution. It’s helping farmers, supporting the environment, and creating new ideas for the future.

Watch the video to see how bamboo is changing lives and the planet!

✅ Portable toilets with waste treatment for hygiene and water savings.
✅ Eco-friendly transport: electric rickshaws, bicycles, and public transport to cut air pollution.

India’s Own Reusable Hybrid Rocket: Introducing RHUMI-1!

Did you know? Just like Elon Musk’s reusable rockets, India now has RHUMI-1 – a revolutionary rocket that returns to Earth after launch and can be reused for future missions. It’s a breakthrough in making space exploration more cost-effective, sustainable, and eco-friendly! 🚀

RHUMI-1’s Key Achievements:
First Launch: Successfully launched in August 2024.
Quick Mission: Completed its mission in just 7 minutes by placing three satellites into orbit.
Safe Return: After launch, it returned safely to Earth.
Reusable Design: Can be used for multiple missions, reducing overall costs and waste.

Why It Matters:

In 2011, NASA’s Space Launch System program cost $18 billion, with $10 billion spent on just building the rocket!

Reusable rockets like RHUMI-1 can significantly lower mission costs and make space exploration more accessible.

It also promotes sustainability by minimizing waste and conserving resources.

RHUMI-1 was developed by Space Zone India a Chennai-based startup on a mission to transform India’s space industry and put the country at the forefront of global innovation. This is a proud moment for India and a giant leap in space technology!

When women talk about the future, we see a just, sustainable, and inclusive world—one where every voice matters. I recently joined an incredible all-women panel with some truly inspiring women who juggle careers, families, and their passion for creating a better world every single day.

Huge thanks to The House of MOSAIC for giving us this space!

It was amazing to share thoughts with these powerhouse women, each championing sustainability in her own way, from advocacy to innovative solutions. 'Her Green Legacy' is a brilliant initiative by Amreesh Chandra and Sonali Semwal to bring together women change-makers and celebrate the impact they’re making in the world. This series celebrates the collective power of women, uniting to spark new ideas and tackle our planet's biggest challenges.
