Head out to the city's beaches, and you can't help but be angry at the garbage dumped that covers the shoreline, adding to the pollution in the ocean.
It's time you take on the onus and do your bit to help make Mumbai a cleaner city. The International Coastal Clean Up, to be held this Saturday, will see thousands on Mumbaiites descend on Juhu and Girgaon beaches in a bid to clean our shores.

If a large number of citizens come together for such an effort, in addition to the fact that the beaches are actually getting cleaner, it will help raise awareness to a large extent.
