What if sustainability isn't about changing the world overnight but changing the way a community thinks, acts and participates?

In this episode of Get Set Green – FoundHers theme, I speak with Anuradha Gupta, Founder & General Secretary of Prithvi Innovations, a sustainability practitioner working at the intersection of environmental education, water conservation, waste management, biodiversity and community action.

Anuradha's journey is a powerful example of women-led environmental action from mobilising communities around the Gomti River to engaging schools and young people in sustainability, conservation and responsible living.

Her work includes 236+ clean-up drives along the Gomti, engagement with 50+ schools and organisations, and the planting of 800+ native and fruit trees along the riverbank.

In our conversation, we explore:

1. What does it take to turn environmental awareness into action?

2. Why protecting India's rivers requires community participation—not just policy?

3. How can waste management and sustainable living become everyday habits?

4. Why youth and environmental education are critical to India's sustainability transition?

5. What does it really take to build an environmental organisation from the ground up?

This isn't just a conversation about sustainability. It's about leadership, persistence and the power of one person to bring people together around a shared purpose.
