The first steps...

It was great to kick off the "Green Chennai initiative" in Chennai and the wonderful discussion that we have had. The kind of enthusiasm that was shown and the passion that was reflected in the meeting, we are sure to make a lot of difference in making the Chennai a Green City.

1) As per the discussion, we realize that there are so many things that can be done in a forum which is focused on sustainability. Hence, it was felt that if we can put in word what should be done by this group of people and then collate the same info to discuss in our next meeting and arrive at do-able things in the immediate, short term and long term plan. Every one was also requested to list out the things that one can individually support on through their own personal involvement or through their own network of friends and acquaintances.

2) What type of the organizational structure that this group should have.

3) List out the people in you can reach out to, who can be involved in this initiative. Basically these people can be anyone who has the passion for sustainability and the drive to do something for green Chennai.

I am sending this email to all the persons that I have approached earlier and who could not make it to the meeting yesterday. I must appreciate the people who specifically took out the time to write / talk to me for their inability to be in yesterday's meeting and promised to be there for the next meeting which is going to be on 15th July.
