WED 2018
What a day!
Noisy. Energetic. Enthusiastic. Fantastic 6000 volunteers gathered at Versova Beach yesterday as India kick-started the 2018 World Environment Week celebrations... Which will culminate on 5 June 2018.
We had Erik Solheim head of the UNEP with us. Along with Diane Mirza who is India's ambassador for the Environment at the UN... Or something like that.
The Norwegians are very well represented at this cause -- I'm speaking of the Norweigian Embassy head and his wife, which just goes to show how much this country and it's people love and respect mother nature and how invested they are in securing her future.
But more than anything, this post is a tribute to the volunteers --- who mostly are referred to as foot soldiers, followers etc. While Afroz leads the charge, it's these wonderful folk who are driving change as hard as him. It's wonderful to meet a number of committed and like minded folks all dreaming the same dream... Seems impossible but I really feel like we are quarter way there!!!!
Very very pumped about all of this.
