Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Lush
We, a team of 16 or 17 people, are working on climate control methods, focusing on
ways to reduce the adversity of present day weather climacterics and pollution. In
collaboration with NGOs, and selected local schools, we encourage afforestation
practices nearby, cleaning of water bodies, student uplift; to be engrossed in different
extracurricular activities like planting saplings, slogan competitions, placard making,
setting up a vegetable garden in their schools ( if needed), awareness classes etc.
We intent to plant somewhat like 500 saplings or so, at selected locations (expect
more people to participate). If possible, open up a website, like a blog, and post
journals including day-to-day activities and expanding our circle to influence more
communities, more participation towards nature conservation practices.
