After lot of hard work, research and collaboration with the academicians, artists and thought leaders, TRY has shaped up into something which is receiving welcome notes. Interestingly, everyone wants to see the change or contribute in the best possible way for the issues pertaining to the environment and community; that they feel every day in their lives. The problem is that these issues are not personal, to be the mainstream, so they tend to pass and lie around till someone steps up.
TRY extracts out “The Responsible You” from each one of us by sharing that the environment, the community is your personal space too. Your happiness lies also around where you live, where your house is located, and the air that you breathe. It’s time to lead by examples, and modify or change some old practices to sustain the rapid urbanization and modernization.
TRY’s biggest effort is to “build awareness”. There are such alarming facts buried in the air spaces and millions of people get shocked as they come across such startling data. For instance, cows dying of 50 kgs plastic in their stomach or India ranking number 1 in the road accidents, or the food choices that we make have some direct impact on the environment.
Rising urbanization is rising many problems- the top of them being rising traffic, noise and air population, exhausting resources, mounting garbage leading to soil and water contamination and soaring diseases. The younger generation is enticed by marketers into consumerism, while the use and throw economy is set to do deeper damages.
In our very first edition, we share the hazards of the biggest culprit “plastic bags” which impacts environment, animal and people. There are alternatives available, and there is a lot that the thought leaders and entrepreneurs are doing to better their community. All we need is to build awareness at a a larger level, generate interest, so that people can make informed choices; demand for what is better for their environment. There is a lot that a citizen can do by choice rather than enforcement if he or she is better informed of the repurcussions.
Let’s all Try for Good.
