WALK FOR MOTHER EARTH

Walk for mother earth this Sunday, organised with the objective of conserving the environment. “Till now maximum focus has been on three R’s (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle). The question is what one can do on an individual level. We’ll be focusing on the fourth ‘R’, i.e. relief. There will be talks on environment change and a nukkad natak (street play), too,” says Parwesh Singh, the organiser. Where: Leisure Valley, Sector 29, Gurugram; 7am

EARTH DAY CYCLOTHON

A portion of the ticket price goes towards supporting the education of underprivileged children. Where:Opp Huda City Centre, Gurugram; 5am

END PLASTIC POLLUTION

As the mercury soars, it becomes difficult for strays to find water. The event aims to create a dialogue for discouraging the use of plastic and keeping water for strays and birds. It will see the distribution of free water bowls for birds and dogs, and the collection of funds to install concrete water tubs near cow grazing dumps. Where: Select City Mall, Saket, Delhi; 11am to 9pm
