The Story Of Mumbai's Youth Clean Up Movement | Times Now Plus

Beach Please is a Mumbai based youth community that conducts weekly clean-up drives at Dadar beach, Mithi River Basin (Mahim) and Mangrove forests at
Airoli in Navi Mumbai.
The group was founded by Malhar Kalambe at age 19, with the aim of cleaning a small part of Dadar beach as a one-time activity with school friends.
The reunion of friends soon snowballed into a youth movement leading to the clearing of 63 Lakh KGS of garbage over 226 weeks of cleaning.
Malhar and the team of Beach Please have been honored with several prestigious awards over the years and also conducts sensitization programs on environmental conservation with schools, colleges and corporate organizations and have engaged more than 2,50,000 citizens through their initiative.

Yes, people should clean their sorroundings. Like...villagers can together clean their village and spread the movement...the whole nation will be cleaned one day

[@dawi8929]

I've come to the end of my life, but I'm glad I lived long enough to see this generation of young people. I'm so proud of this generation - worldwide. You are so involved in everything and compassionate towards people and animals. If anyone manages to lay the foundations for a better world, it's this generation!

you are an inspiration not just for india but for the entire planet. I hope this video goes viral and millions of Indians are involved in cleaning up india

[@kristivanderburg1748]

This is truly an inspiration to all the planet. It helps young people to beware of the problem of pollution in rivers and oceans. And water is the most important thing on our planet as it is the source of life.

[@feather1229]

The planet is polluted because of older generation, not the fault of newborn babies or youth. See, youth are actually cleaning the planet which the previous generation is not trying to do!

[@kpatel7995]

Outstanding. Only young people can Motivate others to keep beaches and Ocean Clean. Very proud of all these wonderful people.

[@kevinkelleher9323]

I never thought I would live to see such responsibility, determination and intelligence in India. How it could have taken so long is hard to imagine. But congratulations to youth who have started what might spread to more of the nation.

[@Pammellam]

Yes, I agree. It has taken too long, but I am glad it has started. This young man a his efforts are amazing.

[@AhJodie]

This is beautiful! I was shocked at how much garbage there was there. There is also sewer, so I hope those people are all safe that help clean up these systems. He is right, I learned from things my kids told me they learned at school about animals having plastic stuck on them and dying. I promised my kids I would never do a few things anymore, and that has affected my life since. Bravo to the mother too of this young man!

[@Incredible365]

Thank you 🙏 Malhar for doing this. You are truly an inspiration to youth ❤

[@manglasuhash6570]

Excellent, highly appreciated. This kind of work by the Indian youth in every city town of the country will defenately make it " swatchh bharat". Thank you young man for taking the initiative and organizing other young people like you to join in this noble work. MY SALUTE TO YOU.

Big thumbs up guys..very very proud of you all

[@larswillsen]

Scary how the past generations allowed this to happen .. These youth are the next generation heroes!

[@ajayn7544]

Awesome job guys!!but please wear eye protection wear and N 95mask and full waterproof dress top to bottom and proper shoes when you work in those garbage areas other wise you can get sick!!”it’s important to wear your oxygen mask before you put it on others” like they say in ✈️

[@ClaireQuinn566]

The amount of plastic and rubbish is astounding. Why was this allowed to get so bad?Well done with your great work. Educate the people to keep everywhere clean. Greetings from Ireland. 👍🇮🇪

Salute and Blessings to these young patriotic citizens of Ma Bharti

[@pooransingh1882]

Dharti maata was created and given to all creatures,including man,in pristine condition Man is the only one, among all creatures,who shows gross disregard for the sacredness of a clean earth. Hopefully, this young man would spread his message to children in schools and enlist their commitment not to pollute and to continue his work. It would help also, if cities and towns were to provide garbage receptacles on the streets to encourage people to use for all refuse. Cleanliness is next to Godliness.

[@nathumbzockwa]

Very good and brilliant work. Every time I visit India... the thing I hate 😒 most is the filth..the garbage and rubbish.. spitting everywhere..besides noise..horns blowing and car or smog pollution etc. Its nice to know that at least some are taking initiatives to live like civilised humans in a clean healthy environment. Well done...❤

[@uppercrust400]

Cleaning up the pollution in India is admirable, but the more important question is how do you keep it clean? This requires a systems approach for waste management. I don't know what the answer, but we need to observe and learn what First world countries do. I don't think it's that hard, but we need to learn the systems.

[@gy2gy246]

There needs to be waste management everywhere. In First World countries, trash is picked up once or twice a week, and the trucks dispose of it. Recycling is picked up on another day. I think in poor neighborhoods in India, trash isn't picked up regularly. It runs from the rivers to the ocean, and the tides deposit it on the beaches. If I'm wrong, please correct me.

[@ashokmahbubani342]

Just saw your video. Great work. Well done . Proud of you guys and hope you continue the excellent work and more people follow your example. God Bless

[@navneetrama]

Good initiative , but the question is where is all this rubbish going after? End of the day it will end up in the sea. We need proper waste management system which starts from home segregation and recyling. Only govt and social behaviour can make the diffrence

[@taranisahu911]

What a true example of "be the change you wish to see in the world"...

[@speakaloud-r3s]

I too feel like doing something like this but where does this collected garbage go or really speaking where do you dump this garbage????????

[@antonyfernando674]

I hope government gives economic support to clean the rivers and lakes too.

[@PrasadSwami01]

You should ask aditya penguin to do it. Mumbai bmc is under shivsena for more than 20 years and what work have they done. Just ruining people's money by doing corruption.

[@kushalshedha4891]

India tourism sector will get a major boost resulting in more employment opportunities ,if India will be cleaned, also there will be less number of diseases..and many more benefits... I wonder why Indian people don't get bothered by these benefits and not maintain cleanliness... Cleanliness might sound a naive idea but it's benefits to people are insane...... Please understand and take a vow to not pollute the environment in any way..........

[@matthiasschmatz8101]

I did with some friends a lot of cleaning in the woods around where we lived. It was round 1980. People called us crazy but we could clean a lot of spots. Now i'm old and i could do this work no more. But if i see cans and bottles and other garbage i clean it up.

[@madeofstardust6440]

Sir, a lot of respect for you ! These small things although go unnoticed but I am really happy that there a few guys who thought of future generations like me and many more to come and did it as a selfless act. Really proud of you and thank you for doing your part for mother nature !!

[@ChristaFree]

Why don't local governments put out trash bins for people to use? Why do so many people throw their trash on the ground rather than on a trash can? I've never seen pollution so bad. Start fining people who throw their trash on the ground. The fine can be used by local governments to keep trash bins handy for people to use. Hopefully y'all get that worked out. Wow. That level of pollution is crazy to me. I'm shocked.

[@keegan773]

They really have their work cut out. So much rubbish and litter is just thrown down or into rivers. That’s why it ends up in the sea and on the beaches. It was the one thing that spoiled our Indian holiday.

[@annettemclaughlin6834]

Fantastic work ethic! The best solution comes from within each of us! Thank you!!

[@lgparker4726]

It is lovely to see these young people working to clean up their beaches. But where do they dispose of all this rubbish?

Congratulations. You and your friends have done a good job. If I not mistaken, there is a lawyer who did the same. Forgot his name already, begins with the letter A. Even Amitabh Bachan involved in the beach clean up.

[@12vLife]

Kudos. very promising and hopeful. But I feel you need to attack the problems from a number of angles (not just cleanup).. 1. Free advertising that recognizes, exposes, shames and promotes 2. Financially incentivize clean up 3. Tax, Fine and shame when individual and companies disregard or violate 4. Policy and regulation on manufacturing and use of these products. Public opinion matters. Technology can help.

[@nothingisreal6345]

I don't understand why the authorities in Mumbai / India are not being held responsible for this disaster? Apparently, there is no functioning waste management in most cities of India. Same for sewage. Why aren't people in India not ashamed of themselves, not being able to implement the most basic social functions? After all India is a democracy.

Good work, wonderful work. You need to also educate the public to stop dropping trash. Children need to have continuous education on cleaning the environment. Children will help their parents and families to stop dropping trash! That will help the future to stay clean… You are sooo correct, children will help us all focus on a clean future!

I would like to help a little so you can get proper PPE. PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENTS for the VOLUNTEERS so that dont get sick and not bring any disease at home. THE VOULUNETEERS Should wear Coveralls and not clean up in their regular clothing. ANYWAYS I WISH YOU GUYS MY VERY BEST and GOD BLESS!!!

[@magic71202]

That's 2100 three ton army vehicles. 2100 (3 ton vehicles) = 63 Lakh kg How many youths participated? And how many days it took? And why beach cleaning can not be organised by the government using proper distance placed dustbins? Where people are, waste is definitely going to be there. All is needed is proper waste collectors.

[@tstcikhthys]

Excellent work. But BTW, the symbol for kilograms is always "kg", not "kgs" (kilogram-seconds) or "KGS" (kelvin-gigasiemens). Also, it makes no sense to be using "lakh kilograms", as the metric system is based on 1000s. In the same way one would not refer to 100 kg as "1 lakh grams", one doesn't say "63 lakh kilograms"; just say "6300 megagrams/tonnes" or "6.3 gigagrams".

[@p__jay]

like mentioned, the biggest problem is source of the trash - people dont care or dont have the opportunity to discard their waste properly...!

[@oneinsixcom]

Do the same in Punjab. Especially outside Mahilpur the river stinks and looks it.

Great.... cleanliness is a work for the whole society. Unfortunately, In India it has been imposed on to 1 single caste... A complete system failure.

[@careforanimals60]

We can try the group funding and something like the device for ocean cleaning. And collect waste from river. From every river it should be mandatory.. as u can't expect from people even basic cleaning

[@OublietteTight]

Yes yes yes please! And yes the youth are great for tackling these issues. But please do not hate your elders. The generation of your parents were the ones who taught you to fight the filth. Your grandparents demanded no lead in gasoline. Us ole people had electric cars decades ago but we faced having them ALL repossessed. Your elders eliminated asbestos and we demanded recycling. Not everything we wanted happened. Not all our achievements were honestly working. So we taught our children... you... to join us and help us fight harder! We love you and we love mother earth. Please remember. ❤

Mumbai youth cleaning up the beaches is laudable, but most filth are seen in the flowing drains which can be cleaned only by mechanical devices and not possible manually.

[@MrSaemichlaus]

Do people in that area even know what a clean beach looks like? I feel like restoring that vision should be part of the strategy. Inspired people expect more of themselves, and more of others.

[@pas7680]

Without government intervention and infrastructure, no amount of effort will fix this problem. those beach and habitats will be back to the same within weeks.

[@vinaymehta8200]

The beaches abroad are cleaner because Europe, Australia and America have stolen land, from Native peoples of America and Australia, natural resources, including hunting and stealing Africans via colonization, slavery and indentured labor and made India and Africa very very poor. You are too young to have experienced this. This is the main reason Africa and India have so many problems - poverty creates a lot of problems in every aspect of life and environment
