We look forward to broaching a number of important aspects beginning with hero or villain!
For those who may have followed my views between 2017-19, I vociferously opposed the plastics ban idea, emanating first from the Government of Maharashtra, then the Government of India.
Both the times there was self-righteous drama around the announcements as if this is the best that needs to be done.
I am an environmental activist based in Mumbai, who has been closely involved with numerous issues in Mumbai since the late 90s. Began activism in my early 20's. Deep philosophical interest in nature, sustainability and the purpose of human life since an early age.
In the decade of 2001-10 I played a pioneering role towards the conservation of mangrove forests in Mumbai co-founding Mangrove Society of India (Mumbai Chapter) and managing the Chapter for a decade.
Have worked on numerous urban issues in Mumbai aimed at improving the quality of life of Mumbai citizens. Solid waste management, tree cover, public transport, municipal budget and governance.
