Her #innovations in upcycling #plasticwaste into #roads, furniture and art installations across #Hyderabad stems from the realization – “my lifestyle choices aggravated the garbage crisis”. By redirecting trash towards #circulareconomy, Hari Chandana enabled lakhs of lives while revitalizing public #infrastructure, much like how Goodall’s efforts reversed deforestation.
Hari Chandana channels the same philosophical ethos as Goodall, stated powerfully as – “What you do makes a difference & you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” Her projects on restoring polluted lakes into vibrant community spaces for local residents symbolize this pursuit of purposeful environmental action aligning localized resources to #sustainability goals.
She stands as a true eco-warrior furthering the legacy of change-makers like Goodall, who affirmed – “Every individual matters. Every individual makes a difference.”
The creation of India’s first #dogpark amidst skepticism displays Hari Chandana’s conviction reflecting Goodall’s sentiments – “What you do makes a difference and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” This TED Talk quote encapsulates the fearless persistence both have demonstrated in turning #conservation into a public movement beyond mere infrastructure.
Hari Chandana’s people-centric green governance focusing on #communityownership has tangible parallels to Goodall’s vision valuing indigenous rights and grassroots empowerment as central for forest preservation. Her decentralized waste management model linking home composting with upcycled crafts production has enabled #sustainable living across categories – be it #sanitation staff, women or farmers.
Such #empathy-based leadership today is vital amidst the #climatecrisis, just as Goodall has highlighted – “We have so little time left to work together to save our environment.” Hari Chandana’s endeavors spanning nutrition, skilling, heritage revival using #technology make her an ideal case study for emulating Goodall’s ideology where environment protection aligns holistically with #socialprogress. She truly represents India’s eco-warrior upholding ethical #governance virtues that legendary conservationists have long advocated.
No matter how big or small an idea may seem, every idea that helps our nation develop matters.
