Hey! I am Manya Harsha.
I am a 12-year-old VIBGYORITE , A Young "Eco Activist". Earth.org India Network named me the ‘Rising of India' on this Independence Day. I came up with a creative way to create paper and save thousands of trees for free. I am an enthusiastic volunteer at many green initiatives and am recognized by UN-Water for my environmental work.
“I celebrate every day as Earth Day. I believe it’s our responsibility to look after our surroundings and nature," - Manya Harsha
I started writing at the very young age of four. My love for Nature blossomed at the young age of 6 taking up many eco-friendly initiatives. I am also an avid reader and very expressive with my pen. I am a young Nature Themed Author, Poet, and Illustrator of Five books. Of late, my Green Innovation of DIY VEGETABLE PEELS PAPER has given a new definition to Waste Management. I celebrated AZADI KA AMRIT MAHOTSAV in a Rightful way .

KEY PRINCIPLES AND RULES I FOLLOW ::
"TO ME NOW, EVERY DAY IS EARTH DAY ! BECAUSE I LOVE MY MOTHER EARTH and ITS OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS HER CHILDREN TO RESPECT AND TAKE CARE OF HER. "
- Manya Harsha ( Environment Activist )
"I dint want to simply witness the destruction of Mother Earth. She is our Mother and its Our duty as her children to stand up for our parents. So did I. I love my mother Earth and will continue to raise my voice for my Mother Earth" .
We often say Nature is Our Future! Being a part of the most beautiful planet Earth, don't you think it's our responsibility to keep Our Future clean and Green? It's our responsibility to collectively gear up to create A Green Earth. A CLEAN GREEN EARTH WITH NO ECOLOGICAL CRISIS, A GREEN EARTH WHERE OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS CAN LIVE WITHOUT MASK AND MEDICINE! I personally feel, spread of Awareness and Educating people what we have lost already, and what we will be loosing in mere future is the only solution to curb the massive destruction of Mankind by Man himself.
Looking ahead, Twenty years from now, let's together paint our Earth green. Go Green is the only Vitamin to boost up the lost space.
Keeping up the spirit of my battle to Save Water I strongly believe Every individual is A Super Water Hero in his/her fight to Nurture Nature. Be the change you want to see, Stop preaching and start practicing is the right mantra to combat Ecological crisis.
DON'T WAIT FOR A SUPER HERO TO LEAD THE MARCH, INSTEAD BE ONE!
-Manya Harsha
