Doorsteps to shorelines: Afroz Shah, the man behind the world’s biggest beach clean-up

In this episode, Anupam Kher is joined by lawyer-turned-environmentalist Afroz Shah as he explains how he managed to single-handedly organize the world’s largest beach clean-up at Versova Beach in Mumbai. Shah, who has been battling pollution since 2015, shares how he got people living in slums to use refillable bottles, what a circular economy is, why the West has no right to demand that developing nations go green quickly, and how the problem of pollution ultimately comes down to one person’s choice to litter.
