Summary:
Augustine drew inspiration from an image circulated on social media which showed an environment-friendly method of planting seeds in empty coconut shells instead of plastic pots. Augustine collected a number of empty coconut shells from the hawkers in and around Pokharan road where he resides. Maharashtra Go Green Foundation and the Thane Citizens Forum (TCF) taught over 60 students from Little Flower High School in Thane to plant seeds in a coconut shell on Friday. Soon, he started teaching school children in the vicinity to plant seeds in an environment friendly manner. “Next day, I reached the school with shells, mud and compost,” said Augustine..
