The initiative carried out by the Central Kerala Diocese of Church of South India (CSI) in carbon neutrality is praiseworthy and it was revealed by Cooperation and Registration Minister V.N. Vasavan.
While launching the project on Tuesday, Mr. Vasavan lauded CSI for being a pro-active organization that has successfully implemented solar power systems in its churches, schools and other institutions. He also checked their tree planting programs as well as waste management which he said was beneficial to the entire community around it. This is what we did at our church when I was growing up.
Mr. Vasavan inaugurated distribution of one lakh saplings by presenting a jackfruit tree sapling to diocese treasurer G.G John Jacob. State coordinator of Haritha Keralam Mission T.N Seema assured them full support and cooperation from the mission.
In his address to the meeting Bishop Malayil Sabu Koshy Cherian indicated that this project has been even given approval both from diocese council as well as executive members.
Joseph Mar Dionisius led the launch of students’ campaign for ‘climate justice’ while Mathew Koshy Punnakkadu’s book Bhoomikkayulla Suvishesham was unveiled by Minister during the occasion.
