India Clean-Up Confluence 2024: Carter Clean-Up & Greenmyna Unite To Pave the Way for a Greener Future

Founded in 2021, Carter Clean-Up has grown from a small group of coastal cleanup volunteers into a powerful citizen-led movement, driven by weekly beach cleanup efforts in partnership with the Ek Saath Foundation. Over 160 weeks of consistent coastal cleanups have empowered communities to become active guardians of India’s coastlines, creating long-lasting environmental impact. Meanwhile, Greenmyna, initially established to make weddings eco-friendly, has evolved into a comprehensive sustainability consultancy that works with corporations, NGOs, and individuals to implement eco-conscious practices across events and daily living. Together, these organizations have demonstrated the strength of grassroots initiatives and professional sustainability expertise to address environmental challenges on a larger scale.

In line with its mission, Carter Clean-Up and Greenmyna envision this confluence as a stepping stone towards a nationwide cleanup initiative addressing pollution's root causes. The presence of diverse groups, from corporate stakeholders to youth activists, transformed the event into a melting pot of ideas, strategies, and commitments. In addition to expert panels, the program included a calendar launch showcasing clean-up movements across India, displaying powerful images of ongoing efforts and the tremendous progress achieved.

The event concluded with the launch of an actionable plan, “Together for a Better Tomorrow,” designed to unite government bodies, businesses, various clean-up movements and citizens in a shared commitment to environmental preservation. With the support of Listenlights, Arya Group Foundation, and Rossari Biotech, the confluence showcased the transformative potential of collective action in driving lasting, meaningful change.
