This Clean-Up Drive Will Restore Your Faith in Climate Action! | Green Guardians

[0:02]Yamuna is not just a river. It is a story, which we all are writing, every day with the choices we make everyday. Namaste, I am Ankush, and I am from Delhi. I am a Green Guardian. Today, we are organising an event, "Youthquake for Climate." Just like how there are tremors after an earthquake, so when young people will come together, there will be "quake"! And we will be speaking a lot on climate. Hi, I am Anuj Ramatri, and I am here with Ankush, and his incredible team of young changemakers, in Delhi. Ankush not only talks about climate change, but also gets down onto the ground level and tries to bring about a change. Today we will do a climate march, which is a symbolic movement around climate. Young people have come together, marching because they want climate justice. And after that, since we are near Yamuna, and there is a lot of plastic and garbage, we will get to action and collect it. To get some action. We have seen many marches, but a march like this especially on climate, is a great thing. When so many souls, more than 400 people, want to work and come together, then you can just imagine how far would that energy spread, how empowering it would be. And from there, everyone comes together and progresses towards change. I felt very good that I came here and volunteered, and helped in cleaning up. If so many people keep coming together for such a cause, then maybe things can change. The best thing is that, this is happening on the Yamuna ghat, which we know is a very big problem for Delhi right now. But if anything is started from here, especially for climate change, then a very big change is going to happen. And this event that happened today, "Youthquake for Climate", it was in collaboration with UNICEF YuWaah and iVolunteer. There is an app, Meri LIFE by UNICEF YuWaah, it has many kinds of opportunities and you too can create such volunteering opportunities. Other people like us, who want to take part in such activites can join you by signing up there, and together we can move towards making the society better.
