Report on Cherish Tota

The informative session with Mr Cherish Tota was great for learning about sustainability and understanding the planet's present state. 

Our guest speaker for the session, Mr Cherish Tota, co-founded Compact Innovation Avenues Pvt. Ltd. (CIAPL). This company nurtures a platform for environmental sustainability and pioneers new eco-friendly products. As a rationalist free thinker, he believes that most people spend time and effort into 'Embracing the abstract and letting go of the concrete.' There is no time like now to set this order right.

He discussed some of the live examples of Greenwashing Companies, discussed exciting case studies of adaptations, worldwide trends, complex data, estimated projections and immediately-doable actions that will dominate his discussions. This realization goes a long way in contributing to the most imperative aspect of society: 'Behavioural Change'.

He gave some fantastic facts about the environmental issues in India. Daily, 68,000 trees are broken down to make tissues for the world. He also explained Tokenism, Greenwashing and Sustainment development goals. His company contributes 20% of his monthly income to ecological defence.

For all these issues, he gave some solutions towards applying practical steps in our lives to become sustainable.

3. Paprap – Alternative to Bubble rap
