Ayra’s story

Problem “The problem I tried to and am trying to solve is the issue of people not actually knowing about climate change. Through my impact project, I am trying to raise awareness to underprivileged people who are majorly unaware about climate change, as well as to those who might be aware about climate change but not necessarily about how it is going to impact them, its causes and possible ways in which they can try to help reduce climate change.

Solution I began by researching relevant sources and starting a blog to bust myths about climate change – www.theclimateblogg.com. I then reached out to NGOs which work with children from underprivileged backgrounds and conducted workshops for Parikrama and Vidya. I’ve also initiated a series of workshops called The Unknown Series along with my friends to engage the general public in conversations about climate change and how we can contribute towards its slowing down. I also plan to initiate climate change discussions in my School once it reopens.

Bhumi has created an extensive program for students to create awareness on the environmental hazards and to re-instill the native techniques. Our students have enjoyed learning about environmental issues and they have become eco-friendly in their daily life.

Raghav, Volunteer testimonial

As far as my memory goes, I have always been contributing in bits & pieces towards the environment in my own small ways. Being part of Eco Champs has helped me broaden my vision towards my fight against climate change. It is a program wherein we equip young students with the right education at an early stage so that they can make better informed decisions for tomorrow.

“During our interactive and informative sessions carefully planned by the Eco-Champs team we learnt many new ideas like constructing eco-bricks, DIY aerators, bird feeders, dog houses, etc. The assignments and DIY activities help us think, do and make us believe that “it only seems impossible until it is done”.

Tanvi’s story

Problem – “The major problem is that the waste is not segregated in my locality. If this issue is not addressed at the earliest, the waste can cause a lot of damage to the environment.”

Solution – I have designed a few posters and made a brochure to create awareness on waste segregation. My friends and I met at my house to put up posters in my locality. We indirectly interacted with the people of the locality about the topic of waste segregation by putting up posters. Then we collected some old buckets and painted them over with blue, green and yellow to serve the purpose of segregation bins for wet, dry and infectious waste in the society. Moreover, my parents supported me financially by helping me get the essential supplies. The mentors of Bhumi guided me on how I can reach out to more and more people using social media hence I’ve created an Instagram handle @climatechange_activist and post regularly about simple tips & tricks to be eco conscious. I also motivate them by giving examples of our work and I have also given them an open invitation to join us if they are willing to. I’m next planning to send a letter to the municipality to send different garbage trucks to collect the segregated waste. Lastly, I will be asking a few questions to the garbage collector, to verify if the waste is segregated and recycled properly in the final stages.
