Saurin Desai

Takes care of – Communications and Sales

Saurin does not know when or how he migrated from being an engineering student, to being a writer and actor. But one thing he does not have is regret - for he's a master communicator with the written word, writing films, short stories, verse, articles and ad copies.

Saurin's researching and analyzing prowess are used to continually probe the inchoate and nebulous world of the Carbon business and find relevancy with this project. And of course, Saurin is also responsible for maintaining coherency of every written word.

Savita Vijayakumar

Takes care of – Research and Outreach

After having completed her degree in Journalism, Savita changed tracks and decided to disprove Yeats's,"" The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity."

Together with her dearest friend Eshanya-, she has founded a Non Profit Organization- 'So, What Now?'- www.sowhatnow.co.in . Based on the the philosophy that you cant change an entire generation, but when a person realized the power to affect external change, it is this realization that inturn affects the change within. For her, the NPO is an experiment to learn and observe and see if things can be achieved differently, to see if she will indeed meet Frost at the end of the Road Less Taken."

The Carbon Footprint below (2.59 tons) for Aug 2010 to July 2011 does not include the footprint I exerted as part of my work related travel for Eliminate Carbon Emissions (P), no2co2. I am in the process of estimating my share of that footprint and will disclose that by October 2011. It does include my travel footprint for work related to the Informed Voter Project (mumbaivotes.com)
