Urbanization has come with a cost which we have avoided thinking it will go away with time, yet time has shown us quite the opposite. As the years evolve and decades roll into centuries, we discover that the earth as we know it is in a precarious state that any generation has ever faced. As with each good cause, it is a fight for what is right; unlike any other fight, this is a fight for the green – plants and trees, a fight for their survival and spread because their existence and spread plays a vital role on what kind of condition the earth will be when the next generation comes on stage.

In this session, we will be speaking with Eco Warriors on their fight for green environment, the journey so far and the key learnings along the way.
