Swachh Citizen

 

As Clean Planet we have been running a civic campaign ‘India Kuch Kar‘ for more than 2 years now . Where we create posters and share with passionate individuals to post them in offices , public spaces , residential building notice boards , on social media – all with the goal of inspiring our fellow citizens to contribute towards a Clean Country . Our campaign has been embraced by people from different parts of India – from Ladakh to Chennai .

The desire to create a Clean Planet has shaped our product design , packaging , promotions  - From Totes to Eco Veggie bags that reduce disposable , plastic waste we have been relentlessly innovating to make it easy for our customers to create a Clean & Sustainable India.

As one can imagine , we were delighted to see the Swachh Bharat initiative . For the first time cleanliness has been given the attention it deserves . It’s been amazing to see people from all walks of life take up a broom and be willing to clean a public space.

Our take on this is that the reason why so many people have had to take up a broom is because there is litter on the streets that should NOT have been there in the first place . Bharat cannot become Swachh until her citizens become Swachh Citizens.

A truly Swachh Bharat requires a change in the mindset . We have to be Swachh 24×7 . Else we will always need to take up a broom and clean some public space or the other . Let’s tackle the root cause of littering by pledging to NEVER Litter a Public Place – EVER .

This Republic Day let’s make India ‘Sare Jahan se Accha‘ by pledging to Go Swachh .

Become a SWACHH CITIZEN .

5 REASONS WHY CLEAN PLANET’S BAG OF THE YEAR 2015 WILL MAKE HEADS TURN THIS YEAR!

Tuesday, January 6th, 2015

If asked to list the functions of a good Tote bag, most would speak of STORAGE, STYLE AND STURDINESS.
But what if a bag could offer these and much more?
What if you were given a fascinating new angle of looking at a bag?

Clean Planet prides itself in introducing a unique bag that is Eco-Friendly, multifunctional and incredibly affordable! BAG OF THE YEAR 2015.

 

Here are 5 reasons why this is no ordinary bag and one that deserves the name- Bag of the Year.

1. It’s a one-of-a-kind calendar (Yes, you read that right)

Clean Planet - Bag of the Year is a one-of-a-kind calendar

Clean Planet – Bag of the Year

In the beginning, there was the humble paper calendar that served no purpose at the end of the year, except maybe to add to the New Year’s bonfire. Then came Clean Planet with Bag of the Year – a tote bag that changed the face of ordinary calendar reading.
A delightfully designed calendar print on cotton canvas in fun colors will brighten up the days of your year every time you look at it. Hang it up in your home or pep up your work station with this cool tote as you use it to store documents and supplies.

 

2. It’s a cool Tote bag when reversed

While you can use Bag of the Year 2015 to adorn your wall space, you can also carry this bag around to make a unique style statement. The best part about this tote is that it is REVERSIBLE! Once the year ends or if you’re just in the mood for a new look, reverse the bag inside-out and enjoy the new upbeat print. The only date missing on this calendar is an expiry date because of its fresh new look when reversed. Now that’s what we call a bag that’s twice as nice to you and your wallet!

 

3. It is Eco Friendly

Like every Clean Planet creation, the Bag of the Year 2015 is an Eco-stylish masterpiece!
It is a clear winner over cumbersome paper calendars and is definitely a more eco-friendly choice over paper. Designed with love, using pure cotton canvas fabric and earth friendly colors, it is reusable and will outlive the year it is meant for. It’s eco-friendly components make it a product that will bio degrade into the earth over a period of time when discarded causing no harm to the eco system. Two thumbs up for Mother Nature!

4. Its top-notch quality is unmatched

QZ8501

Sunday, December 28th, 2014

air asia

 

Most of Asia woke up today to the news of Air Asia flight QZ8501 having disappeared en route to Singapore . Across the world people tracked the news hoping for a miracle of the passengers being rescued . That hope still burns bright . Hopefully tomorrow will bring good news about the passengers on board being rescued from the sea .

As it always happens with such flights – there are people who made a last minute reservation to take the flight . And some who cancelled their tickets close to departure . One such lucky individual was Mr Chandra Susanto who was scheduled to travel on QZ8501 along with his wife and 3 children . They cancelled the plan a day prior as his father was unwell .

‘I am very thankful to God for his mercy for me and my family. But I am so sad and very sorry for the people on the plane,’ Mr Susanto said. He also had this to say ‘ Our lives have changed. We are so grateful. We have an opportunity to be the best people we can and to help others. We are so thankful to God

Reading the article it struck me that most of us are blessed to have that opportunity daily . Just because we did not miss a flight that crashed we don’t often realize the enormity of the gift that each day represents .

Our thoughts and prayers with those onboard the flight and their families and loved ones . A real tribute would be living each day for the GIFT it truly is #Be the Best People We can & Help Others.
