RECYCLING And REPLANTING

🌱 From Tea Cups to Trees: How We Turned Waste into a Nursery

Most of us enjoy a cup of tea at a local shop, but rarely do we stop to think about what happens to the cups once we’re done. More often than not, they’re tossed away, adding to the growing pile of waste. But what if those same cups could grow into something much more meaningful? 🍵➡🌳

At Mrittika Harvest, we decided to rethink this “waste.” Instead of throwing away used paper cups, we collected them and gave them a second life—as tiny planters. 🌿✨

🌍 Why We Chose This Path?

Every small action matters in building a sustainable future. By reusing discarded cups, we:

♻ Reduced waste headed to landfills

🌱Created low-cost planters for seedlings

🌳 Grew crops, trees, and greenery for our community

What started as a simple experiment soon grew into something much larger—our very own nursery. Each seedling in these recycled cups is a reminder that sustainability doesn’t always require big investments. Sometimes, it’s about looking at everyday items differently.

💡 The Bigger Picture

When we share this idea, people often ask: “Can something so small really make a difference?” Our answer is always YES.

Because every tree starts from a seed, every change starts from an idea, and every movement starts with a single step.

Imagine—something as ordinary as a tea cup is now helping us grow life. 💚

🌱 What You Can Do

The next time you enjoy your cup of tea, think twice before throwing it away. Could it be a home for a seed? Could it grow into a plant, or even a tree, one day?
