Environmental & Citizen Science
Deploy ground air PM2.5 and water testing teams, log GPS-tagged spot sensor readings, and send statutory notices to DPCC/CPCB.
“Pollution data in government hands is sanitized. Independent citizen science logs on Sangathan force the High Court and NGT to act.”
Citizen Science & Clean Air Collective LeaderWhat Fails in Conventional Organizing?
