🌿 We’re Thrilled to Partner Again This Year with Boston Durgabari as Their Sustainability Partner! 🌿
We are excited to continue our collaboration with Boston Durgabari in advancing a shared vision of a greener, more sustainable Durga Puja. Seeing sustainability become an integral part of one of the largest cultural celebrations in our community is truly inspiring.
We were especially delighted to see Boston Durgabari's sustainability efforts recognized in a recent feature highlighting how diaspora communities are working to reduce festive waste and promote environmentally conscious celebrations.

👏 Building on last year's successful transition from plastic cutlery to compostable bamboo alternatives, Boston Durgabari is taking even more meaningful steps this year:
✅ Replacing plastic cups with paper cups
✅ Using mostly paper-based food containers
✅ Transitioning to compostable clamshell containers during the final two days of Pujo
These may seem like small changes, but together they create a significant positive impact. Every cup, container, and conscious choice helps move us closer to the goal of a low-waste, zero-plastic Pujo.
As a sustainability partner, we are proud to support and celebrate these efforts. Sustainability is a journey, and Boston Durgabari continues to demonstrate how cultural traditions and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand.
🙏 Celebrating Maa Durga, sharing bhog, reconnecting with friends and family, and caring for our planet can all be part of the same beautiful tradition.
💚 Here's to a greener Pujo, one small step at a time!
