Have You Sent Your Entry for Earth Day Shehar Green Karo Contest

April 22, 2016 will mark the 46th Anniversary of Earth Day. Growing out of the first Earth Day 46 years ago, Earth Day Network, a global NGO that works on environmental issues, engages today with over 22,000 organizations in some 192 countries for Earth Day commemorations.

To mark its 46th Anniversary, Earth Day is running a 46-city campaign in India titled शहर GREEN करो (Green Your City). Delhi Greens urges all citizens and organisations living in the 46 cities mentioned below to participate in this contest and compete for making a better Planet!
