Get Involved

Imagine a city where every home has an edible garden, where every barren concrete rooftop and disused plot of land is converted to a green and beautiful space that helps nourish each man, woman and child; where the scorching days of year long summers and the threat of still warmer tomorrows are tempered by the cooling shade of nature; where our children are taught to respect and cherish the earth, that they may grow to be the thoughtful leaders who inherit it; a city united by a verdant, living system that is equitable, resilient, nourishing.
It starts with you.

Be a Thottam Advocate

We ran a contest in Chennai and invited citizens to come up with ideas on how to inspire 300 Resident Welfare Associations to step up and commit to greening their localities by encouraging residents to set up rooftop vegetable gardens in their homes (PatchaiMadi Thottams). Here are some of the winning ideas that were submitted. Use them as inspiration to create awareness in your own neighourhood and convince your association to be a part of the Greener & Cooler Cities Mission.
