On the eve of World Environment Day we decided to organise a signature campaign outside Borivli stn (w). Very early on 5th june me, Gaurav, Shreyas, Ketaki, Ovee, Nimesh, Mrs poonam, Akruti, Aishwarya, Karan and the littlest one Mrs poonam' son met outside the stn with posters, placards and a little bit of skepticism never having done something like this before. We stood just outside the entrance so tht all the commuters passing by could see us. For the nxt 2 hrs (7-9 a.m) that we stood, we interacted with people from all walks of life. We wished one and all Happy Environment Day, all of them were hurrying to catch a train, some responded with nods, some wished us back, some walked by us as if we were invisible। We received a lot of positive responses, people stopped despite getting late, talked to us, signed the forms (save trees, save frogs), most of thm asked to be contactd for more info and were ready to participate in future activities. The main attractors were the small girls Akruti and Aishwarya, they ran everywhere with great gusto, wished all the women and literally dragged them to sign the forms and no one could resist their charms. All in all it was a fun and succesful campaign, we received around 100 signatures per campaign. We thank everyone for a gr8 response
