On the 7-8Feb. 2009, NDTV hosted the first ever 24hour live telethon in India. The focus of this telethon was environment and the goal was to raise money for solar powered lamps that TERI distributes to villages that have no electricity. Because the theme was green, the event was called the GREENATHON.
Environmental events took place in Chennai, Chandigarh, Mumbai and Delhi throughout the 24hour period and NDTV covered it all live.
In Delhi, Swechha (www.swfc.org.in) organized the event- a 24hour Yamuna river clean-up, complete with live music performing on a floating
stage!
Two-thousand people came and helped pull 12 truckloads of garbage from the river...and our Jamghat boys were right in there helping to send out the message that
we want clean water in Delhi's lifeline, Yamuna!
We are very happy that the event was such a success and that Jamghat got to help make history in India, by partaking in the first ever Greenathon!
Save Yamuna...Care for your planet...
keep your recyclables separate from medicianl waste and food to help keep the kabari wala safe...enjoy green plants in your home...
don't toss wrappers from any windows....keep India beautiful!
