Hello Explorers, We are all familiar with our very own Sanjay Gandhi National Park. This park sits right inside our city nestled between Mumbai and Thane. A lot of us Mumbaikars have grown up playing in its jungles and shady forests and picnic spots. It would be rare to find a Mumbaikar who has not visited this National Park multiple times, and who doesn't have fond memories of this place. And most of all, its a genuine item of pride for us Mumbaikars. The way it makes us feel one with nature. But now, a new generation of people have come into the city who don't have the same respect.
These people have scant regard for the park, its surroundings or the great role it plays in getting rid of the pollution in our city. They do not realize that without the National Park, our city would be enveloped in smog.
There would be a lot more diseases rampant, and life would be extremely difficult here. In their lack of knowledge, they are causing distress to the Park itself. They go into this genuine green lung of our city - and leave behind trash and filth.
Everywhere on the shady hills, now are mountains of garbage. Where it was purely greenery as far as the eye can see, its plastic bottles and paper plates.
Where a lot of us romanced our sweethearts, is now full of filth left behind by a careless group of partygoers. Hence, we have decided to do something about it.
We are organizing a clean up event at Yeoor hills(Thane side) of the National Park this Sunday January 11, 2015. We will meet at the entrance of the park at 7.30am on Sunday and we expect to be done before noon. There will be different teams created and each team will be assigned a particular spot and be given the equipment for clean up including bags and gloves.
Collected trash will be taken and dumped at the nearest dumping ground. Every nature lover is welcome to join hands with us in the clean up effort.
We will make the National Park clean again; and fit for us to feel proud about it. So, please come and join us - and lets pick up our Pride! If you need more details, please call Amol Patwardhan at 9820962452. Thank you very much for doing this...
