Rodas urges people to join its campaign "Say No to Fire-Crackers"

Rodas, the designer ecotel at Powai urged people to join its campaign "Say No to firecrackers". As part of the campaign a huge white canvas was put up on 9th November from 5 pm onwards near the hotel. Noted social activist Priya Dutt and kids from Cancer Patients Aid Associattion (CPAA) painted their messages on the canvas.



Nilesh Limaye Executive Chef, Rodas Ecotel who also heads its Green Team said ," During this time there is a sharp increase in air and sound pollution in the city. The firecrackers being burst emit a lot of smoke and also raise the decibel levels above the accepted limit. The smoke, in addition to being injurious to health also disturbs the ozone layer and there is an increase of asthma attacks during this period. We are urging people to have a less noisy and less polluted Diwali by lighting the traditional diyas and exchanging sweets."



Said the environment officer Rajul Samel, , "We at Rodas have always been in the forefront on environment issues and have a 'Green Team', which initiates special steps on environment and also educates the general public on the same. We run the largest private owned vermiculture pit in the city and have undertaken public awareness campaigns on days like 'World Earth Day', 'World No Tobacco Day', 'World Environment Day' etc. We also take special care to use only environment friendly products in our hotel."
