#NoCarSundays – Citizens Across India Come Together For Clean Air Everyday

Citizens across India have called for driving no cars on Sundays to control air pollution levels.

A social media campaign was initiated by Indian environmentalists, #NoCarSundays, to attain #CleanAirEveryday which was observed in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and other cities of India.

Vehicular Emissions are a major source of Air Pollution causing more than 400K deaths around the world every year.

Delhi, the capital city of India, is surrounded by Aravali and Yamuna River which once attracted the Mughals and British with its Natural beauty. But now it is a concrete garden and often ranking amongst the topmost cities across the world in causing pollution.

To make an effort to reduce Vehicular Emissions, the concerned citizens launched the #NoCarSundays campaign on social media, wherein they have been requesting citizens to not use their cars on Sundays and instead opt for Public Transport, E-vehicles, E-Bike, Cycles, and Walking.

The campaign was co-organized by Environmentalist Atulya Shuruaat known best for his move “Garbage to Greenage“, Fridays For Future India, Bhamla Foundation, Vrikshit Foundation, Khushiyaan Foundation, Global Prodigy Awards, Green Brigade Society, and others. Let Me Breathe was the storytelling partner of this event. E-Bike company, Yulu, provided the participants with its cycles to observe the initiative.

“Through the initiative, we are trying to reduce pollution and give more green cover to mother earth,” said Atulya Shuruaat.

In Delhi, around 20-25 participants took out a Yulu E-Bike rally from Shivaji Metro Station crossing India Gate till Connaught Place showing their solidarity.

Likewise, many joined in from other cities.
