A Green Revolution Begins
On 15th May 2021, in the bustling city of Ahmedabad, India, a 16-year-old boy named Pranav Mehta took a stand against plastic pollution. This environmental enthusiast started an unprecedented neighborhood cleanup campaign that evolved into a city-wide movement within a month.
💪 The Power of Youth
Pranav, with the help of his school friends, began by cleaning the local parks and streets every weekend. They collected over 200 kilos of plastic waste during the first month alone.
- Pranav organized the cleanups every Saturday and Sunday.
- Their effort has since removed over 1,000 kilos of plastic waste from the city.
🌳 Planting Seeds of Change
Not content with just cleaning up, Pranav also initiated a tree-planting drive. The environmental warrior and his team have planted over 500 trees in and around the city so far.
- Pranav aims to plant 10,000 trees by the end of 2023.
🌎 Spreading Awareness
Pranav’s efforts caught the attention of the local media, inspiring others to replicate his actions in their own neighborhoods. He has since been invited to various schools and corporate events to share his experiences and encourage others to join the fight against plastic pollution.
🚀 A Call to Action
Pranav’s story is a testament to the fact that age is just a number when it comes to making a difference. His actions remind us that every effort counts and that it’s never too early or too late to start. Let us all take inspiration from Pranav’s determination and make our world a cleaner, greener place to live.
