Last weekend ie 6th July went for forest cleanup (not that kind of clean up)...it was a cleanup organised by WWF. Kids of age 7 to uncle and aunties of age 50+ were there.
All we had to do was clean up the non-biodegradable things which people throw around during their trip to BNP (Borivili National Park) , we found plastic mugs, bottles, manikchand and one guy even left his shorts in the jungle. There was Mr Sushil Shinde who gave us details about the forest and things in it. His one sentence which struck my mind was
"One person needs atleast 3 trees to breath for his whole lifetime"
But at the rate deforestation is happening I think one day people will have go around with oxygen cylinder on their back and roam around as the builders are not leaving out the jungle.
BNP is called as evergreen forest due to various reasons which NIC members gave to me like the hangers or hanging branches are a good indication and pollution level is almost zero which we come to by Lychins growing on the tree.
I am planning to start a clean up drive one weekend every month in BNP so that people will understand that it is not good to throw things in the forest and it will help them.
