Roots & Shoots - The Eco Dream


It is an amazing feel when surrounded by these wonderful school kids who are purely passionate about environment and all that they want to do is change the way this country and her people care for the animals here.

Who said this generation doesn't care... I say this generation cares more than the previous one's... They grab opportunities to prove that they are not just one among the crowd. All Roots & Shoots volunteers, whether in Madras or Hyderabad, they are true marvels who will inspire people of any age (those in right senses...)

From sea turtles to sparrow, lakes, cloth bags, herbs, native saplings, paper bags, composting to zoo volunteering and much more... they are not just doing their bit, but are rewriting pages of animal care and concern. Ask them how they multi task, how they manage time, or finance management... they do not know fancy terms but they are masters of it...

In their company Roots & Shoots is all set to work real hard... to ensure that this dream becomes reality and doesn't end abruptly half way... heavy investment of man power and all expectation on returns revolves around a green outcome... Once we join there is no leaving Roots & Shoots coz its not a choice or decision to take back but a bond that only gets stronger... all in the spirit of living a human life and ensuring harmonious coexistence for all life forms...


Join the Roots & Shoots Dream... A reality that is your ticket to humanity...

Fry To A Frying Pan!!! STOP EATING FISH. VOICE YOUR OPINION AGAINST TURTLE KILLINGS.

Fish ain't farm bread or it isn't any domesticated poultry to be consumed in tonnes as we do. Fishes in the ocean are the Wild-Species which are rare and also pushed to the brink of extinction. By removing these fishes which are part of the Marine Food Chain, several other linked life forms get killed indirectly.

1. A fishing boat without Turtle Excluder Devices is the reason why India has close to 10,000 dead turtles every year. If the Q is wat's the use of turtles... the answer lies towards the end...

2. These sea turtles that get killed are healthy mothers or fathers... they swim across oceans and when they arrive at this homeland of theirs, they considered infiltrators and get killed by boat hits, trawl boat propeller cuts or the hooks... If the Q is wat's the use of turtles... the answer lies towards the end...

3. Millions of fishes once, and today its an empty ocean returning empty nets for these hunters. Wat better way to refer to them... If the Q is wat's the use of these fishes... the answer lies towards the end...

Next time a fish is served on your plate, jus run a quick scan of events tat happen before the fish lands on your plate.

A. A free living creature cheated with a bait n is suffocated to death. Irrespective of its age they get killed for no fault of theirs...

B. A mother in labor visiting her paternal beach to nest gets killed by a speeding boat. With her die her young ones.

And what do we get. A fried fish on the plate, with a newspaper article reading about the same dead turtle and the same fishermen fighting over an elevated corridor. Mankind is heading towards nothing.

ANSWER: With death ends their pain. The minute when nature decides to strike back she is gonna punish us hard, that minute of pain will answer us why these turtles and fishes were important and why we aren't anymore.
