THE CROAK is a weekly environmental newsletter put out by the eCoexist team. It is the voice of the environment on its last legs, the final croak that can either be a plea for attention or a call of triumph as the frogs jump out of the well of ignorance and denial.

Punaravartan: Taking collective responsibility

Thank you to all of you who so generously participated in the Punaravartan campaign!! This is a newsletter from the eCoexist team to update you on the our progress and to keep you posted on preparations for next year 2023!

Those of you who have been following our progress on the Punaravartan campaign would by now have a glimpse of how beautifully it all came together - we collected a total of around 18000 kg of clay sludge altogether, which was sent to artisans in Pen, Pimpri Chinchwad, Thane and Pune. This clay will now be recycled for reuse next year.

22 organisations joined hands to make this possible along with several schools and residential societies.

The campaign also won accolades and recognition from different members of society and we wanted to share a few with you.

We would also like to invite you to join us so that we can bring the campaign to your city next year!

The Croak is a weekly environmental newsletter put out by the eCoexist team. It is the voice of the environment on its last legs, the final croak that can either be a plea for attention or a call of triumph as the frogs jump out of the well of ignorance and denial. Satirical, urgent and wise the newsletter brings to your attention, topics of global environmental relevance as well as emerging encouraging alternatives. Put together by a team of passionate Nature lovers, The Croak hopes to look at the environmental crisis in its face. It is a tool to reconnect readers to Nature, through questioning and self reflection. To understand the outer environment as a reflection of our own inner state, individually and as a species. And to take responsibility for enabling change.
