Should We Start Gifting Vegetables Instead of Flower Bouquets on Birthdays?
Flower bouquets are often left behind and discarded, whereas vegetables can be consumed and appreciated. Instead of giving a rose, consider gifting an inexpensive seasonal fruit like guava, raw mango, lemon, amla, or sapota. The basket size can be adjusted according to the budget. Additionally, opting for eco-friendly wrapping instead of plastic can further benefit the environment.
This shift also shows our gratitude towards our farmer brothers and promotes our indigenous culture over Western customs. Even small gestures like this can positively impact the economic situation of farmers and contribute to a more sustainable society.
