Environment campaign by GAIL gains momentum
GAIL has been creating awareness for
bringing a positive change to ensure a greener and cleaner environment through
its 'Hawa Badlo' movement. In this move 'Wake up and Smell the Change'
initiative has been started by the Hawa Badlo platform to spread the idea of
appreciating and preserving the positive environmental changes occurred due to
the lock down. Through 'Wake up and Smell the Change' initiative the netizens
were asked to take a pledge and sustain this change in future as well as with
befitting lifestyle changes like:
1. Staying home more on weekends
2. Walking or riding bicycle whenever
possible
3. Using one car per family
4. Using cleaner fuels in vehicles and
home like Natural gas, CNG, PNG, renewable etc
An online engagement activity was
also organised under this initiative earlier where in people were
requested to click pictures of scenic beauties from their balconies, windows
and roofs and post them on Hawa Badlo handles in the comments section with the
hashtag #WakeUpAndSmellTheChange.
This is an attempt to
mobilise collective societal efforts to improve the deteriorating air
quality, by encouraging sustainable and eco-friendly steps in work as well as
inculcating lifestyle habits such as planting trees, cycling and walking,
carpooling, using public transport, conserving energy and using cleaner energy
sources like Natural Gas for industries, CNG for automobiles, and PNG for
commercial uses. By engaging people for actions through events, social
messaging, endorsement and web media series, short films, raahgiri, contests
etc.
The purpose of Hawa Badlo campaign is
to motivate Indian netizens to take pledge for actions against air pollution
and problems caused due to air pollution. This initiative under Hawa Badlo
movement through its engaging activities has been able to reach more than 8
million people till date.
