As the winter chill rises, you get ready to dust off your picnic basket, get your barbecue ready, pack some blankets, and head out of your house. Except, as soon as you step out, you are surrounded by smog. Gasp. Smoke. Cough. Choke. You Can’t Breathe.

Air Pollution claims over 1.2 million lives every year in India according to World Health Organisation. One in four child deaths under five years of age is due to a pollution. In 2015, 92% of the world's population lived in places where air quality level exceeded WHO limits. Number of kids who’ve reported respiratory disorders have risen exponentially.

With Diwali approaching and everyone getting patakha happy now that the ban has been lifted, are we going to spend another year living in the smog filled world and watch our kids choke?

OR are we going to do something about it.
