Citizen consumer and civic Action Group (CAG), organised a rooftop solar awareness workshop at CSI Arul Church, Madhavaram, Chennai. The workshop was held from 9.30 AM to 11.30 AM on  Sunday,13 June. The workshop was attended by 300 people from Madhavaram and surrounding neighbourhoods, with almost all participants residing in individual houses.

CAG conducted a study (July–Sept 2024) across three Chennai schools to identify challenges in school-zone safety. The three schools were selected for being representative of different neighbourhoods in Chennai. Methods included parent surveys, road audits, focus groups with children, and observational studies. The report also proposes actionable measures for developing safer, sustainable transport solutions around schools.

Just as we prioritise our health, we must also pay attention to our vehicle's health with regular service and maintenance. Make sure that your vehicle has:
-regular oil change
- tire maintenance
-air filter replacement
-fuel system cleaning
-wheel alignment, etc. 
This practice not only guarantees a safe journey home but also helps to decrease fuel consumption. Be sure to mark your next service appointment in your calendar today.

 Did you know that your driving style can impact fuel consumption? Indeed, driving smoothly on the road leads to lower fuel usage compared to aggressive driving. Speeding on roads not only endangers your life but also increases your fuel expenses. Make mindful choices the next time you hit the road and remember to:
Avoid hard braking
Avoid rapid acceleration and speeding
Use cruise control on highways
Turn off your engine while idling
Maintain optimal speed – between 50-80km/hr

Protesters wore yellow , red , and orange  to symbolise the urgency of the crisis and the danger posed by the unchecked production of plastic, which is made using #fossilfuels.
