Through Greenmosphere we are developing this to over 3500 students from 30 schools. The students are spreading environmental awareness among family and friends and will continue to do so in the future.

Students can create work models, pictures, dialogues on favorite topic, comic book, poem, slogan, different forms of energy. Environmental love shown in activities like poster, solo dance, group dance, skit, monologue is attractive.

The workshops encourage to look at things from a different perspective. I am very happy and grateful to be a participant in the Save Earth initiative.

Advocacy is self-awareness and making recommendations to people to reduce and improve environmental damage. The children of the nominated school of Ahmedabad set an example of being true environmentalists by becoming green ambassadors.
