Global Warming

In the present scenario, Global Warming has emerged as a major concern endangering our very own existence due to continuous depletion and misuse of natural energy and resources. Rotary has embarked on a well structured process to combat this situation and has already initiated various action plans. Global Warming and Environment is one of the major thrust areas of Rotary. Various steps and actions that are initiated or have been planned are:-

Creating awareness (Distribution of Comic Information Booklet on Global Warming in various languages)
Mission Green Earth
International seminar on Global Warming
Climatathalon
Light a Billion Lives
Green Revolution
Energy Saving Bank and Tree cycle Re cycle
ROTARY CARBON CREDIT POINTS

Mission Green Earth is a trademark project for Rotary wherein we are planning to create mass awareness all over Mumbai, reaching every college, every station, every mall and thus spreading the message of Global Warming all around. To encompass the above said objectives, ROTARY is in need of substantial support from Public at large, Corporates, NGOs, Government agencies etc. in terms of finances and logistics. This is excellent opportunity and platform for ASIAN PAINTS to join hands with ROTARY to fulfill their Corporate Social Responsibility and be partners in promoting Goodwill, peace, happiness and making the world a better place to live in..

Sir, going ahead with this project would serve the dual purpose. One would be sponsorship of our event through you and the second would be awareness and visibility all over Mumbai in Schools, colleges, Malls, theatres etc regarding the association between Rotary and ASIAN PAINTS towards Global Warming.

The combined resources of ROTARY and ASIAN PAINTS can provide invaluable contribution to the society for the eternal benefits of mankind.
