A Green Tradition
It’s not bananas! It’s a chariot being made from the banana tree
trunks at the Betkim Kalo. Seeing it, that too in a village
overlooking the mining hub of north Goa, makes us wonder:
Is it to raise environmental awareness, to instill a sense
of creativity in the youth, to save other trees from cutting down
for a wooden chariot, or is it because of some budgetary orspace constraint to store a metal palkhi... we don’t know, but
considering the waste and pollution caused by today’s
disposables, we salute this Truly Natural Living Tradition.

Very true "A Green Tradition isn't a banana! It's a char..."
