We believe we have a robust system, enough resources and multiple issues to solve. But we also believe, it’s we who can make things work. We know our problems, because we deal with them everyday. And a city so great, remains great till the citizens are happy. A thin land strip reclaimed on sea, crowded with people, offices and factories can’t run solely on spirit.
With the advent of technology, we can now speak to the authorities about our problems. Even collectively. Although some people might claim so, the site and the idea is not an initiative of any political party, we will fight any party that comes to power and does not listen to its citizens.
BMC has issued a notice seeking citizens' opinion over cutting of 675 trees and transplantion of 1146 trees in Mumbai. The proposal to remove 1821 trees (675+1146) is for the ongoing Metro 3, 4 and 6 projects by MMRDA and MMRCL. The said proposal to cut the trees need to be vehemently objected given Metro 4 is sub judice while there are appalling discrepancies in the number of trees to be cut as against the number mentioned in the DPR in the case of Metro 6 as well as Metro 4.

But it has not given rehabilitation and compensation to more than 32,000 families who live in the valley. The people have launched a Satyagrah under the banner of Narmada Bachao Andolan. Stand with them and tell the Narmada Control Authority (NCA) not to go ahead with this destructive move.

We reach the root by dirtying our hands and cleaning your hearts.
With our resources from across the world and of course the country, we try and read to replicate the best practices for ecologies across our movements.
We talk after taking long pauses. We enter conversations, to elevate them. It’s the need of the hour and thus the generation to talk about issues that matter. We make that easier through our social media handles.
When you love a city, you want it to live well too. Our constant conversations with authorities are the reason we exist. And we promise to keep continuing the conversations.
We grow trees. We grow our roots. We grow movements. We grow goodness.
We help corporates execute their projects where the do gooder needs a liaison with the doer. Tree plantations, Plastic recycling, waste management workshops, zero budget natural farming workshops, eco talks. All under one umbrella.
Digital activism is cool but have you ever hugged a tree or immersed yourself in swamps or swam in rivers or seen a chilli turn red? Roam with us and our partners.
Let Mumbai Breathe is a much needed site to speak about ecological issues in the city – and as the title suggests, it is about letting us as a city have the consciousness and conscience to take care of our fragile ecology. I wish the website all the best and trust that it will become one of the focal points.
For each campaign on this site, I will donate 5 saplings!
The site allows you to interact directly with the officers in charge.
This is a much needed initiative to let citizens make direct contact with these officers.
Three thumbs up!
The Mumbai of the future will bless the Mumbai of today if we all stand up for what is right.
And this is the right step towards it!
