Dia Mirza Instagram – Down to Earth With Afroz 🌏🌊🕊🌳
Meet ADV. AFROZ SHAH, a Lawyer at the Bombay High Court, Founder of the celebrated Afroz Shah Foundation , A UN – Champion of the Earth, CNN-NEWS18’s Indian of the Year in 2017, CNN Hero 2019 and a young environmentalist reclaiming beaches, oceans, rivers and mangroves from trash and apathy. The UN went on to label the much-talked about ‘Versova Clean-Up’ helmed by him as the “Biggest Beach Clean-up in World History”. Inspired by his effort to clean the beaches in Mumbai, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) launched the ‘Clean Seas’ campaign globally.
For over 6 years, Afroz has worked single mindedly towards the goal of cleaner, healthier urban spaces and to reduce ‘human-ocean’ and ‘human-animal’ conflicts. So far, under his stewardship, 60+ Million Kgs of plastic & filth have been removed from oceans, beaches, creeks, rivers and forests.
If there is anyone who truly embodies the phrase ‘actions speak louder than words’ it is @afrozshah_ 💚🙏🏻 A true Gandhian and most wonderful human being.
Join us and be inspired by this extraordinary change maker!
