Rising seas may seem distant, but #GlobalWarming heats oceans and melts ice, pushing water levels higher. As coasts flood and habitats disappear, recognising how warming drives #SeaLevelRise is essential for protecting communities and planning for a changing climate.

India needs safer buses, stricter standards, and zero-tolerance for non-approved vehicles .

We need real reform: factory-built coaches only, fire-safe materials, multiple exits, mandatory inspections, and harsh penalties.

Let’s push for change, every life counts. Safety reforms can’t wait any longer.

A comprehensive evaluation of our work strengthening environmental sustainability, consumer protection, and civic accountability.

Electricity is often seen as clean at the switch, but generating power from coal involves mining and burning fossil fuels that release greenhouse gases. Recognising where our power comes from is essential for cutting emissions and choosing cleaner, greener #RenewableEnergy.

Join us as we take you on a quick tour of food safety. Small habits can make a big difference to the food you eat—microorganisms, for instance, often enter our bodies through simple daily actions. You’ve heard this before, but it bears repeating: wash your hands before you eat. Washing your hands after using the toilet helps prevent harmful bacteria and viruses from transferring to your food, reducing the risk of infections and food-borne illnesses.

Europe, Australia & the US enforce strict safety norms for long-distance coaches: multiple emergency exits, auto fire-suppression, breakable windows, fire-proof upholstery, and mandatory manufacturing standards.

India still allows customised sleeper buses with minimal oversight, no universal fire standards, no structural norms, and rare enforcement.

This MUST change NOW!

Have you ever seen a perfectly functional footpath that has been encroached upon by shops? This image shows a continuously laid footpath that has been taken over by a store for storage, forcing pedestrians to walk on the street. It is important for local authorities to take adequate actions against this misuse of public space. Additionally, it is your responsibility to distinguish between public and private spaces, ensuring that public areas remain accessible for everyone to share - who is 'you' here?
