Paint Bengaluru Green needs your help for "crowd sourced" online information repositories to integrate entities towards fueling speedy green revolution locally and globally!
A. Pitch Summary:
Billion Trees and Beyond is getting traction among green loving citizens who are eager to do their bit, but needing critical guidance and help regarding their engagement ahead.
The mother platform of Billion Trees and Beyond is the Paint Bengaluru Green, which was launched an year earlier is committed to foster speedy and more effective green revolution in Bengaluru through the strategy of online information exchange repositories.
The key strategy of Paint Bengaluru Green was to count on a set of online savvy volunteers to do so, which could not be effected immediately. However, with the direct ongoing citizen interaction through the Billion Trees and Beyond platform engagements, it is now possible not only to mobilize more and more supply and demand related information related to the green / sustainability revolution eco space, but also to foster critical collaboration across individuals and entities in this regard.
As an initial step, the Paint Bengaluru Green will bootstrap basic information repositories with the help of crowd sourcing. A set of dedicated volunteers will emerge through this effort too. The initial opportunistic and amateurish expression will slowly mature towards institutionalization fostering co-operation across multiple institutional platforms and billions of individuals, initially locally and eventually worldwide.
