We Welcome our special guest for today, 'The Green Man of Sikkim', Omi Gurung.
Thank You so much for inviting me on your programme
I think so...
So, what has inspired you to work for our environment?
Well, I draw my inspiration from the surrounding. But my parents and teachers have played a vital role in my success.
What kind of products are you making these days?
I have recently opened Green Gangtok, an eco friendly boutique and recently, I have been designing home décor products which follows the 7 R’s.
Hmm, interesting!Pls tell us about your achievements.
Umm, I have been one of the 50 voices of young environmentalists. I was one of the “Defenders of the Planet Earth". I am also an awardee of Karam Veer Chakra.
Pls tell us about the 7 Days 7 Ideas project.
What support have you got from the city?
It was about reusing old things and showing creativeness. Making something beautiful from what is discarded is a challenge and shows creativity.
I received support as emails, letters and phone calls. It is nice to receive a call from stranger who supports me.
So now, we have almost come to an end of this event. What would you consider yourself, a writer or a fashion designer?
Thank You so much for joining us!
Umm, it’s a bit confusing but it’s really tough to just consider myself as just one person. I would like to consider myself as an artist.
