Now we had Lunch (this was my favorite part).

After noon we started with another panel discussion by Mr. Muhammed Wazeer founder and CEO of Tree Tag and Mr. Adithya S Sahadevan Climate Justice Activist 🌍 | TEDx Speaker 🗣️ | JCI-India Outstanding Young Person Award 21' Winner 🏆

They presented their thoughts on the current situation and variuos different methods to be sustainable. They also pointed out on some real world scammes run by the big tech companies and advertising themself as green. They recalled upon some thoughts shared by the other guest and shared their opinions.

As the last program was an interactive workshop by Ms. Kavya Sreekanth CEO of Pranna Power.

It gave us a vivid view on how each of us was a burden to the earth and and to minimise our carbon footprint on this earth, to make it more interactive she gave us simple math and asked the crowd to answer. She also shared about one of her recent Projects which helped the disabled kid in remote villages of rajasthan.

I was most inspired by the fact that its better for the earth if we reduce our bathing session which I am trying to follow for the better of earth.

This is a honest opinion from my side- when Ms. Sreekanth was presenting the reponse fromt the audience was very pathetic and shameful the speaker was withdrawing from the crowd. Well it was afternoon and everyone was full after the lunch, this shouldn't be an excuses for the laziness and some students walked out mid workshop, felt like a straight up humiliation.

Over all it was a great experience we got a very good exposure to this indsutry and I am very happy to meet a lot of like minded people and to expand my connections.
