THE GREEN BATTLE

GO GREEN is the buzz word everywhere it seems. And why not? Given the Earth's destruction almost every moment by an unaware, callous, indifferent and a careless individual, at any point on the globe-Green indeed is the watch word of today. The clock is ticking away. No 2012  is not the end of the world- but that knowledge alone cannot bear the merit of a big  sigh of relief. Aplopcalyse is actually quite near a neighbour-if we choose to see beyond our boundaries of our materialistic pursuits of "happiness."
It is this urgency that caused the initiation of FOOTPRINTS into a Green affair. Seminars were held almost in all part of our country and even beyond the borders to discuss on the gravity of the matter.
But thank God, the case did not close with only loud voices and strong words. The talks were supplemented by a thoughtful plan of action.
The concept of GreenBattle.com was born. A brain child of our director, Green Battle gradually took its first baby steps of formation in the hands of a well-aware, environment-conscious and a creative team. Yes we emerged as the Earth Warriors ( this tag line naturally stolen from HP's "Water Warriors" initiative) and not the harmless peace-mongers. We want to fight. Actively- not passively. We have the grit, passion supported by our collective vision to stretch this concept of Green much beyond the boundaries of SIMC - beyond Pune even - and make it a national effort.  Backed by a strong mentor team, this "TRUST" of ours hopes to achieve its dreams fast.
GreenBattle.com is thus not a website merely. It is an awareness building tool. It is a youth initiative.It hopes to reach out effectively to the likeminded and even incite others to join us in our green drive.
Our concern for the green has led us to create a number of innovative sections-which will define and guide our journey. We embark on this mission- not out of goodwill-but rather a genuine love for our planet and fellow human  beings.
No race, no class, no borders can divide us in our effort.
We shall progress self-willed to see a better world ahead.
No miracle doctors are we, but rather dreamers, who will leave  no stone unturned to see their dreams translated into action.
And we shall- coz we can.
