- M.A.Aleem Neurologist Trichy Tamilnadu India
The Election Commission of India is ensuring an environmentally sustainable Parliamentary election 2024.
It is said that there should be no waste visible at polling booths across the country after casting of votes. It should be collected and disposed off as per rules.
In this election, use of paper should be minimised. "Less and less paperwork and how can we reduce the carbon footprint through recycling etc... is the commitment and responsibility towards the environment,” the Indian election commission says
The EC is already running a "Go Green" initiative towards a more environmentally responsible and efficient electoral system. One of the initiatives that is aimed at environmental sustainability is issuing digital vouchers to political parties. As part of this, the allotment of time on government-owned media such as Doordarshan and All India Radio to political parties will be done online through digital vouchers.
By adopting digital vouchers, the Commission is demonstrating its commitment to sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and modernisation. This initiative not only benefits the environment but also enhances the experience for political parties involved in the electoral process.
This election is a positive example for other governmental bodies and organisations to follow, highlighting the importance of embracing digital solutions and eco-friendly practices in a rapidly changing world.
In this Election 2024 ,political parties are advised to avoid the use of non-biodegradable material for campaigning.
Protecting the environment is not an individual task but a collective responsibility and hence it is better ,all the political parties to avoid the use of plastic/polythene and similar non-biodegradable materials for the preparation of posters, banners, etc... during the election campaign in the interest of environment and human health.
Everyone who is involving in the Lok shaba election 2024 should take a pledge to carry out an eco-friendly campaign
