TERRE celebrated 'Earth day', a global annual event for the environment from 19th April to 22nd April 2019. On this occasion, TERRE in association with Bank of Maharashtra and P.N. Gadgil & Sons organized a four-day free PUC check campaign at Abhiruchi Mall, Narayan Peth, Riverside road and Shivajinagar in Pune city.
The objective of this campaign was to aware people about air pollution and to keep a check on vehicles that have high gas emissions. The campaign was led by Mr. Ankit Gaurav, Project Leader TERRE and Mr. Saurabh Kelkar, Intern TERRE. People from different areas of Pune showed their support for this initiative by checking 1057 vehicles within four days.
Here is the month of June and the onset of the rain god.
The trees and plants will bloom with rain showers.
However, we see depletion of groundwater storage. The heavy development around us like the cement roads, tiles and construction activities does not help water to percolate in the ground.
We desperately need to plan the storage of water in the ground with help of tanks and seepage.
This will increase the level of groundwater reserves. The rivers, wells and small water reservoirs will have adequate supply.
Harvest water! Conserve life on Earth!
Being as a Project Partner TERRE Policy Centre team was invited at Nagenahiru Centre for Environment Education at Godahena, Ambalangoda, Sri Lanka for Regional Forum form 4th Feb to 9th Feb 2024.
