Versova Beach, before and after
#1
Versova Beach was a heavily littered beach in Mumbai, India.
Two years ago one man started a clean-up project. Others have joined him and they have manually picked up garbage and removed it from the beach.  Their work has restored Versova beach to a pristine state. 
That would be enough, but there is more.
The beach is now a turtle nursery and many hatchlings made it into the ocean.

This story is proof that we can fix things. If it takes thousands of hours to remove garbage, then that is what it takes, but it can be done. Once we have cleaned things up, life can return. All around the world projects like this are possible.  It would be amazing to be part of a big project like this with its big results. However, just planting a few trees and cleaning up a bit of garbage can make a difference on a small scale. Remember if we each do what we can then we can transform the whole world. 
After all Versova beach was cleaned up one piece of garbage at a time and it started with one man.

Who know where all those turtles will go.
