Chennai Coastal Cleanup 3 - Feb 5
Who other then we CTCians have been exposed to and learn to appreciate nature's virgin beauty?
Who else can see the stark contrast between the untouched purity of the locations we explore each weekend and our highly polluted cities and tourist places?
Who other then CTC has the unstoppable passion to stand up and drive a change in the mindset of this world?
Who else then our group can bring hundreds of selfless volunteers into action and send a strong signal of environmental awareness and preservation through our society?
Remember that we are not inheriting our planet from our grandparents, we are borrowing it from our grandchildren...
