The third edition of the “Nagaland for Green Christmas” campaign has been launched by the Sustainable Development Goal Coordination Centre (SDGCC) of the Nagaland planning and coordination department.
This year’s edition of the “Nagaland for Green Christmas” focuses on mobilizing all the residents of Nagaland to celebrate a sustainable and environment-friendly Christmas.
The primary objective of the campaign was to align the Christmas festival celebration to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) dissemination and spark on-ground action across the state for making this Christmas and beyond, sustainable, according to DIPR report.
According to reports ,SDGCC maintained that Nagaland has shared the responsibility and contributed to make SDGs a reality for the state, the country, and the world at large. According to the Nagaland government , Christmas is the most happiest time of the year but not the most environmentally friendly.
According to SDGCC ,the campaign was an endeavour to keep on taking the efforts towards a state-wide sustainable and environment-friendly Christmas to reduce carbon emissions.
The most simple and effective methods to have green Christmas celebrations can be by avoiding plastics and using DIY decorations, decorating eco-friendly Christmas trees, switching to LED lights, gifting reusable items, sending e-cards, ethical buying , composting the leftovers, connecting to nature etc.
According to further reports, residents of the state have been asked to share their eco-friendly celebration story via social media handles tagging @sdgccnagaland with hashtags- #NagalandForSDGs #NagalandForGreenChristmas. For more information, one has been asked to visit SDGCC’s social media handles.
