Rotary Club of Pune Central , Indian Maritime Foundation and International Coastal Cleanup are encouraging a campaign for a healthy Ocean ecosystem by cleaning different water bodies apart from the ocean, such as river shores, surroundings of lakes, ponds or even canals. Water from these waterways first go into rivers and rivers eventually drain into the sea; this amazing sequence has continued since time immemorial. The time has come for mankind to realize that clean lakes and rivers will result in clean oceans. We owe this to the environment. If we ignore these precepts it means we are encouraging a syndrome that must be avoided at all costs: Global Warming. The cleanup we are fostering is part of a nationally rewarding program in which over 2000 volunteers, including school children, all over North India, participated in 2015. You will be proud to know that India was placed 7th in the WORLD in 2013. This years program was sponsored by RCPC ,inspired by Commodore Rajan Vir,President IMF,Pune to help not only marine ecology but also the amazing number of lakes, ponds and streams; they need our attention.
