Grow Your Oxygen before you Breathe & Conserve Water before you Drink | Subhajit Mukherjee | TEDxACE

Small actions in the right direction can make a huge impact. How can we be responsible citizens and take action to save the planet?

In this video, Subhajit Mukherjee talks about an economical, easy-to-learn, and, quick to implement climate action plan.

He talks about the need to plant mini forests to reduce air pollution and preserve natural biodiversity. He shares techniques to help native trees thrive in an urban environment.

Concretization has reduced the soil's capacity to absorb rainwater thereby causing recurring floods. Hence, he innovated the 'Magic Drum for Rainwater Harvesting' to solve the problem of waterlogging. He explains how to implement the same solution in a step-by-step manner in buildings and societies. Subhajit Mukherjee is the founder of Mission Green Mumbai where he inspires citizens to protect, plant and adopt trees with the motto of "Each One, Plant One". As an ambassador, he has contributed to the Majhi Vasundhara Abhiyan campaign, an initiative by the Government of Maharashtra, to create a citizen's movement to conserve the environment and biodiversity.

He has been honored as a ‘Jal Rakshak’ and awarded the title of ‘Water Hero’ for his innovations and efforts in the field of water conservation for Jal Shakti Abhiyan under Ministry Of Jal Shakti, New Delhi. The BMC has given him the title of ‘Water Hero of Mumbai’ for educating more than 16,000 students on implementation of Rainwater Harvesting techniques.

His environmental initiatives have been applauded and tweeted by our respected Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
