KEY POINTS

· One of the grandest annual celebrations in Mon is the “Lao-Ong Mo”, a post-harvest festival of the Konyaks.

· To express gratitude to the divine spirits for the bountiful harvest by way of praying, singing, dancing and feasting. (a way of respecting the nature)

· A large waste bin, also made of bamboo with the leaves had been lined on the trays with such skill that they fell into the bin as a neat little packet with all the waste food secured inside, without any leftovers. The trays were being collected for sunning and reuse. (Recycle and reuse)

· According to the Konyak tradition, an anti-oxidant rich black tea, called “phika” is served after food poured into a disposable glass, carved out of bamboo stem. Such a seamlessly biodegradable pattern of food consumption. (healthy life while protecting environment)

· Recently harvested millets, spices and vegetables were meticulously packed in firm packets made of palm leaf, not even a single plastic was used in the feasting and packaging. (reducing the environment pollution)

· Thus the tribal culture is rich in tradition and scientific knowledge naturally present in India and is followed effectively by the tribes. Government of India can use these kind of festivals as an inspiration for better development of our country.
