Versova Beach Clean up

The biggest Beach clean up in the world inspired and motivated by this young lawyer .
Even the turtles came back and laid eggs.
Unfortunately this has now been suspended because all the volunteers were getting abuse can you believe it ?
But a magnificent effort .

Magnificent effort clearing such appalling waste, surely they have official refuse collection.

Plastic is so damaging to the environment and wildlife, im glad that beach cleanups are done regularly up here now.

Kudos to this man for getting up and doing something about it.

Public health must be though, the stench alone would be horrendous. India has been ranked among the 10 wealthiest countries globally.

Re: Versova Beach Clean up

There are some 18 million + people probaby more living in Mumbai 70% in conditions of dire poverty !

Even going to the toilet is dangerous for the poor

Watch slumdog millionaire .

There are of course weathly people but as always these are the minority.

Great wealth and terrible poverty share the same city,
