Clean streets and rivers for Mumbai: restoring the Unity wetland
Volunteers are restoring the Unity wetland in Mumbai; $400 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India1,597 views
The Unity wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 67 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 44 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the municipal water board, including native species selected by a local botanist.
The area floods more each year, and fish have returned for the first time in a decade after our first cleanup. Restoring it will protect homes and bring back shade.
All the labor is volunteered. We just need materials.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $400 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $195
• Tools and protective gear: $55
• Waste removal and skip hire: $135
• Signage and educational materials: $15
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

wishing you the best. More neighborhoods should do this. It's not much but it's yours. Love from San Diego.
Keep going, Madhuri. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted. Love from Johannesburg.
So sorry you're going through this, Madhuri. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Los Angeles
