Mumbai never witnessed such a Green Movement, like Earth – Day celebrations at Dadar beach in a long time, organized by CREDAI – MCHI and MISSION GREEN MUMBAI. Mumbaikars love for Greenery is known far and wide and as an ode to their love, CREDAI – MCHI took the CELEBRATIONS a notch above where all our Managing Committee Members led by MrDomnicRomell, Secretary, CREDAI – MCHI planted coconut trees on the beach and encouraged all Mumbaikars to adopt ONE!
We have embarked on the target of planting ONE LAKH trees which is fired by the MAN ON A MISSION, MR SUBHAJIT MUKHERJI, Founder, MISSION GREEN MUMBAI who has planted over 34,000 trees in Mumbai.
Shri Aaditya Thackeray, President – YuvaSena, known for his involvement in social work and betterment of Mumbai, was the Chief Guest on the occasion, whose commitment towards Green & Clean Mumbai was palpable. He encouraged the huge gathering of citizens on Dadar beach amidst celebrities from all walks of life to plant trees in their surroundings or wherever they can. Joined by a strong force of important people working on the cause of environments like Shri Gopal Zaveri from River March, Shri AvinashKubal from Mahim Nature Park and SubhashRane, Nodal Officer, Swacch Bharat Abhiyan. INS Hamla provided logistic support to the program.
In the presence of 500+ select audience representing Corporates, NGOs, CSR Heads, Employee Engagement Heads, BMC, Forest Department, Garden Department and other distinguished Mumbaikars, MrAaditya Thackeray said, “I am not trying to protect the environment. I am trying to create a world where the environment does not need protecting. The way Mahatma Gandhi Ji brought all brothers together for freedom from slavery. Inspired, I am trying to bring all society together to address environment protection and with support from all of you, I would be like to contribute towards Green & Clean Mumbai. Your presence on Dadar Beach early morning towards the cause is ample proof of your dedication towards environment protection.”
Speaking on the occasion, MrDomnicRomell, Secretary, CREDAI – MCHI said, “We at CREDAI-MCHI believe that it is time to return the favour of Mother Earth by planting more trees, by controlling pollution and by making it a greener planet. We are embarking on a mission to plant One Lakh trees all over Mumbai in association with Mission Green Mumbai which will substantially increase the green cover of Mumbai. As a socially responsible organization, we have pledged to reinstate Green & Clean Mumbai so that our future generations inherit happier & healthier planet.”
As expressed by MrSubhajit Mukherjee, Founder, Mission Green Mumbai: Corporate Social Responsibility is redefined as Corporate Social Response where MCHI has become a response team to address the human needs of Shelter and better health. Working for the environment is not a social work. It is a serious business where we profit by good and healthy living.”
This is an honest effort to bring all the Green Humans in Mumbai together to work as a Green Team.
