An immersive experience for children to help them understand the fragile relationship between human activity and the health of our oceans. 

A thoughtfully crafted activity that is not just about volunteering but also offers a first-hand glimpse into the humungous problem of ‘waste’ looming over us and the actions needed to solve the problem -  correct segregation & disposal of waste. It is sure to leave an impact on the future leaders of the world.

The Carter Beach Problem:

Carter Road is a popular 3.5km long stretch in Bandra with a beach and mangroves on one side.

- The beach part is drowning in plastic and illegally dumped construction debris.

- The mangroves are choked in plastic to the extent that the precious flora is unable to flourish and expand

The Action you will be part of:

• The Marine waste collected is segregated into different categories and the plastic which cannot be recycled is sent to a cement factory as Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF).
• Religious idols found on the beach are sent every fortnight to a recycler in Nashik. Nearly 75 residents of Bandra now drop off their waste at Carter Road beach every Saturday.
• Reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills while promoting environmental sustainability.
• Help transform the mangroves into a thriving ecosystem for birds, marine species, and citizens.
