While Hindus Krishna celebrates Janmashtami, the Pacific Recycling Foundation calls on the public to protect the environment from Visarjan during the rituals.
The PRF founder Amitesh Deo says that the practice of throwing plastics and other non-biodegradable objects into the ocean remains a serious problem in Fiji according to religious festivals.
He warns that such practices refuel the pollution of the ocean, endanger the life of the sea, disrupt ecosystems and even represent risks to human health.
DEO asks religious groups to pay attention to what they immerse themselves and use the correct disposal methods, if available.
He explains that religious leaders should use their influence to promote environmentally friendly practices and emphasizes that care for the ocean should be regarded as an important part of the dedication.
