Save our children, protect their tomorrow, says Dia Mirza. The green activist urges support for the
children & rally in the capital today.
Dia Mirza, the UN Advocate for Sustainable Development has urged citizens and government agencies to
support the young children who are holding a rally at India Gate in New Delhi today. Given the
degrading air pollution levels in Delhi, UN Environment and Goodwill Ambassador for India Dia Mirza has
made a fervent appeal to save our children, and protect their tomorrow. Ever since the harmful cloud of
smog enveloped Delhi, Dia has been tweeting and engaging on various platforms to spare a thought to
the toxic air that children and other vulnerable groups have been breathing.
Young children are going to be pledging their participation in solving #AirPollution later today in #Delhi. Hear them ?? They promise to be a part of the solution. So CAN WE. #BeatAirPollution #RightToLife #SDGs #Tuesday 7pm, Amar Jyoti Jawan, India Gate. Forward together!

But our inaction has made them anxious. It’s giving them distress. Our shouting, screaming, calling each other names, our anger, our helplessness… why? We have access to the science. The solutions. NOW more than ever before. Work everyday. Recognise the work that is being done.

We the land of #Gandhi, we one of the oldest civilisations, we the people of #India have done better. Can do better. Together WE WILL.
P.S- I don’t usually say this on Twitter/insta/FB because I know children see it all. But I realise now more than ever before. They NEED us.— Dia Mirza (@deespeak) November 5, 2019
And they NEED to know we are with them. So please, pause a little. Hear them? Thank you ?? #AirPollution #BeatAirPollution
