This research paper explores the concept of green humour as a powerful tool for addressing environmental issues in the context of anthropocene. As humanity's impact on the planet intensifies, the need for creative approaches to ecological communication becomes increasingly evident. Green humour, characterized by its blend of wit, satire, and environmental consciousness, offers an engaging and effective means of raising awareness about ecological challenges. In this paper, we delve into the significance of anthropocene and examine how cartoonist Rohan Chakravarty utilises green humour to highlight environmental concerns, encourage sustainable behaviour, and foster a deeper connection between humans and nature. It explores the historical context of ecological comedy, the power of humour in environmental communication, the functions of green humour and the strategies and techniques employed by comedies to convey environmental messages effectively. By presenting complex issues in a relatable and engaging manner, he encourages readers to become active participants in environmental conservation and activism. Through his creative and insightful approach, Chakravarty demonstrates that green humour can educate, inspire, and empower individuals to make a positive impact on our greying planet. As we navigate the challenges of an increasingly fragile environment, Chakravarty's green humour serves as a beacon of hope, reminding us that change is possible and that each of us can contribute to creating a more sustainable future. Through the fusion of creativity, humour, and environmental consciousness, we can forge a path towards a greener and healthier planet for generations to come.
