Citizens for a clean earth

The making of a wasteland...

The photo, sent by Mohan Ranganathan of Chennai, shows plastic and rubbish strewn by irresponsible tourists near the Berijam Lake, Kodaikanal, a hill station in South India. But this eyesore could very well be anywhere else in the country.

Irresponsible and insensitive citizens, apathetic, unresponsive policy makers and lax local administration are turning our planet into one huge trash dump.

Is this the legacy we want the next generation to inherit? Time is running out but it is still not late to stop and reverse this degradation. Make the authorities more responsive and if possible proactive.

Join hands with us to create awareness, instigate official response and do our bit for the environment.
