Bangalore is our home and have seen it transform from a quaint garden city to the bustling metropolis it is today ! Despite the numerous countries and continents we have travelled что посмотреть в Ульяновске, our love for India and Bangalore, brought us back, always.

Everytime we are back in India, we could feel the difference in the pollution levels and it would show up, especially , in our childrens’ health. So, we started researching and the ugly truth started to emerge. We are living in gas chambers !

We realised over the years that pollution is on the rise in India (not only in Delhi but in all major cities and towns). Unfortunately, the information is not disseminated effectively to the public. Thanks to media in the recent times, slowly the awareness is building up.

We also realised through the course of research that there is NO immediate short term solution to India’s air pollution issues. Years and decades of policy, process and people failures cannot be overturned easily.

What is our option then? Do we continue to breathe hazardous air and risk the lives of our children? We cannot rob our children of their childhood – they need to go to school, play outside etc etc. 

A simple solution is to get masks on. Any parent reading this would know how difficult a simple task as this could be? We faced the same resistance from our children – its’ ugly, I look like a fool, no one else is wearing etc etc

Since children like to imitate others, what if this could become a culture? What if wearing masks can become fun and a fashion statement? Thus, started OCCUPY AIR movement to RECLAIM THE little LUNGS…
