The dynamic ecosystem houses 16 species of mangrove, along with 209 birds, 82 butterflies, 81 spiders, 75 other insect species, 32 reptiles and several mammals species including Golden Jackal, Wild Boar and the Indian Mongoose. The visit started with a beautiful morning walk along a path covered with exotic flowers, trees and vibrant butterflies. At the edge of the Thane Creek, 2 volunteers from Godrej Group lead the educational sessions. The students learnt about the importance of mangroves as urban carbon dioxide sinks since they can absorb carbon and grow biomass. Since its existence, the Godrej mangroves have stored over ten lakh tonnes of carbon. Mangroves are unique since they grow in saline water and are often referred to as coastal forests. Their benefits are multiple since they also act as shock absorbers against violent floods and tides in addition to preventing soil erosion.

A group of 10 individuals from PGDM across specialization arrived at Versova beach on a Saturday morning and had an eye opening experience during the cleanup. We were briefed and educated on best practices to clear out small and large garbage packets and what hygiene practices to follow while doing so. We got to learn a lot from seasoned volunteers on type of waste that gets usually generated and how they are making concrete efforts to ensure that the waste is handled properly at most of the semi urban households.
• Water conserving faucet initiative: With over 1000 water outlets for handwashing alone, the SPJIMR campus consumes a whopping 40,000 liters of water daily. Research suggests that more than 50% of water while washing hands goes to waste. Extrapolate it to 1000+ outlets, students in a hurry using them, and a water scarcity crisis looming over Mumbai, it is a disaster in the making both for the environment and for the accounts of the college. Hence, to counter this, we started an initiative to install a DIY water-saving nozzle in the taps across the campus. These nozzles would reduce water consumption by up to 75%, bringing down water wastage significantly. After thorough experiments to study the current water flow rates in the taps and understanding hand washing behavior based on parameters such as pressure experienced, feeling of cleanliness, etc., and the correlation between them, we went ahead with the initiative.
