The first May Day celebration in India was organised
in Madras (now Chennai)
by the Labour Kisan Party of Hindustan on
1 May 1923. This was also the first time the red flag was used in India. The party leader Singaravelu Chettiar made
arrangements to celebrate May Day in two places in 1923. One meeting was held
at the beach opposite to the Madras
High Court; the other meeting was held at the Triplicane
beach. The
Hindu newspaper, published from Madras reported,
The Labour Kisan party has introduced May Day
celebrations in Madras. Comrade Singaravelar presided over the meeting. A
resolution was passed stating that the government should declare May Day as a
holiday. The president of the party explained the non-violent principles of the
party. There was a request for financial ………..wiki
I battle with recycling and going green all the
time. Then Why not on May DAY. I can do the simple of using the recycling bins
and stuff like that. But using less and trying to really not be wasteful is
hard. I'm doing better though. We only use napkins, paper plates and stuff like
that for big gatherings. I use cloths to clean with and stuff like that. I am
currently saving all the TINS (evaporated milk, Ghee, protein mix, etc) and I'm
going tocut them from bottom, attach them one upon another with cello tape ,
only the base tin is having its base attached then I covered it with weaved
cane selvedge from the chairs ( ripped canes of chairs), using glue. These are
my two planters .the bigger one is created by 5 containers and the smaller with
3 containers.
That's not a start! I am recyclers since a kid
all these activities inculcated in me by my father’s guidance and observing him
in his day to day life ! I'm also
saving all my small-small containers..of
ayurveda herbal things ,.not sure for what yet, but I bet they will come in
handy eventually.
We all should be the care takers of the earth
by making it trash free-the Lord did create this Earth and honored us to be
it's keepers. We aren't caring for the Earth as God would have us when we trash
it and continue to obviously put things towards landfills. Someone in our front
park during evening walk told me there
is a "recycling unit" in the
city I am in for the fused electricity bulbs you have to call upon them and
they will approach you to collect four fused bulbs , the rule is they must be
four bulbs or more , not less then four. OK !
So on a nutshell I have been a fanatical
recycler for years but still use paper
towels during chilly days. I am planning to make hundreds of 10 inches square pieces of cotton napkins using my abandoned
cotton dresses . I just piled them spritely in my wardrobe , I will materialize
my idea very soon. I agree that we
should take care of God's creation as an act of worship and to foster a cleaner
planet for our children and grandchildren!
