Now, ACT.

December 10, 2015 By meerasub Leave a Comment

Many people have asked me, after presentations or via email, What can I do? Stories should be sparks and the listeners/readers, tinder. The last thing I want is for you to set A River Runs Again/Elemental India down and walk away wiping your hands clean. So, if you’re so inspired….

Here are some of the organizations I focused on in the book as well as others whose efforts I’ve come across in my research. No organization is perfect. I write and explore the efforts, successful and struggling both. So don’t consider this list an endorsement, necessarily, but an excellent starting point for you to make your own explorations and decide to become a member, send a donation, get involved, or simply learn more.And, please, if you know of other individuals or organizations that are enacting eco-swaraj in India or elsewhere, please contact me and let me know. I hope to make this a dynamic collection.
