The city’s denizens are ensuring that they do their bit by working to preserve the environment over and above the work of civic authorities.
From planting trees to cleaning lakes to working on plastic alternatives and plogging, Bangalore and its citizens are making the case for doing their bit for the environment.
A recent citizen-led initiative to volunteer for parks saw NGOs and denizens, including children, come together to clean and de-weed Jakkur Lake and its premises. The event saw enthusiastic participation by a motley crowd that saw this as a great opportunity to make a difference.
Bangalore’s rapid urbanisation and growing population have placed increasing pressure on its environment. Declining green cover, pollution in lakes, rising plastic waste, littering in public spaces, and increasing waste generation are challenges that require immediate and collective attention.
