Preserving Our Future: United Way Delhi's Environmental Advocacy

India faces millions of deaths each year due to the adverse effects of our day-to-day activities on the environment. However, there’s a long way to go in addressing the environmental issues that are a primary cause of disease, health issues and long-term livelihood impact for India. To combat the issue, United Way Delhi aims to raise awareness regarding the severity of the issue and bring ownership to people to save the environment.
