We can’t talk about better public transport without talking about better access.

Right now, too many people in Chennai are forced to:

Walk on broken or missing footpaths

Cross unsafe roads without signals or zebra crossings

Wait under the harsh sun with no shade

It's inconvenient to even get to the bus stop

If we want more people to use buses, we need to make reaching the bus safe, comfortable, and dignified.

A shaded bus stop means nothing if:

There’s no continuous footpath leading to it

Waste pickers play a vital role in solid waste management and environmental protection. On International Waste Pickers Day, we stand for their dignity, safety, and rightful recognition.  #WastePickersDay #SWM #ClimateJustice #RespectWastePickers

Food waste contributes to:
• 10% of global GHG emissions
• 14% of methane emissions
• Climate change & biodiversity loss
Food waste drives climate change. Reduce waste. Save food. Save Earth.

Think climate change just means hotter days? Think again. 

When the planet warms, the whole water system goes into overdrive. Warmer air holds more moisture — so when it rains, it often pours. Short, intense downpours can overwhelm roads, drains, and rivers in minutes. 

While it is important for adults to wear seatbelts , child restraint systems (CRS) are the safest option for children up to 12 years depending on height and weight. Child seats and boosters keep children correctly positioned and prevent serious injuries during crashes.

How safe are our roads? Tamil Nadu ranks highest in India for road accidents, recording a staggering 67,213 crashes in 2023. We rank second in fatalities, with 18,347 lives lost. This includes 1,682 pedestrians who were simply walking to work, school, or home. (MoRTH 2023). These numbers clearly show that our roads are not safe. We must act urgently, especially to protect our children. By creating safe routes to schools with proper infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists, we can safeguard young lives and other vulnerable road users.

Social justice grows when inclusion is strengthened. This #WorldDayOfSocialJustice, the focus is on empowering people and bridging gaps in access, opportunity, and participation. Inclusive systems help ensure that everyone can live with dignity, benefit from development, and contribute to society. Building a fairer future begins by leaving no one behind. #EmpoweringInclusion #BridgingGaps #InclusiveSocieties #EquityForAll #SocialJustice

Greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere that trap heat from the sun. This natural “greenhouse effect” keeps Earth warm enough for life.

The problem begins when human activities — like burning coal, oil, and gas, cutting forests, and running industries — add too much of these gases, especially carbon dioxide and methane. The heat-trapping blanket gets thicker, so more warmth stays on the planet instead of escaping into space.

An interactive nutrition session made healthy eating fun and practical for students. From balanced meals to smart label reading, they learned how to make better food choices every day. With confidence, students affirmed their commitment to making conscious and healthier choices.
