Millennium Fellowship Project: The Ocean Mindset
"The Ocean Mindset" is a project aimed at addressing the pressing issue of plastic pollution threatening our marine ecosystems. Recognizing the urgent need for action, our project focuses on raising awareness, advocating for sustainable waste management practices, and fostering a collective commitment to protect our oceans. Our project has achieved this through impactful measures such as organizing beach clean-ups in Mumbai, conducting educational sessions on campuses to empower students in reducing plastic consumption, and engaging with local vendors to encourage the adoption of eco-friendly alternatives.
