When the world turns a blind eye to waste-strewn coastlines, some choose to step up instead of step around.

At the 5th Good Air Summit & Awards, Dr. Chinuu Kwatra, Founder, Khushiyaan Foundation, delivered a keynote that was as raw and honest as it was inspiring. He recounted his journey of confronting the stark reality of Mumbai’s choked beaches — where plastic outnumbered seashells, and apathy was the norm.

But where others saw despair, Chinuu saw a mission.

He launched Beach Warriors, a grassroots, citizen-powered movement focused on restoring the city’s natural beauty. But this wasn’t just about clean-ups — it was about civic responsibility, environmental justice, and sustainable transformation.

🌊 Week after week, volunteers gathered not just to clean sand but to rewrite a mindset — showing that climate action doesn’t always need corporate funding or government mandates. Sometimes, it begins with a trash bag, a team, and determination.

But the movement didn’t stop there.

In a brilliant display of circular economy in action, the plastic waste collected during the clean-ups is now being recycled into functional school benches. These benches are then donated to under-resourced schools, creating a ripple effect where waste becomes opportunity, and pollution transforms into a pathway to education.

🏫 From restoring coastlines to building classrooms, Dr. Kwatra’s work showcases how sustainability, education, and equity are deeply interconnected.

His story is not just about environmental activism — it's about reimagining how we give back to our communities, how we engage citizens meaningfully, and how we bridge climate goals with human impact.

Dr. Chinuu Kwatra’s mission is a timely reminder that the most powerful change often begins outside boardrooms and policy circles — sometimes, it starts with picking up a single piece of plastic and daring to believe it can become something more.
