ZOC2070 gets Showcased at the Synod

On 03 and 04 June 2022, 168 priests, religious and laity from the Archdiocese of Bombay congregated at St. Pius X College, Goregaon to reflect on feedback received through synodal discussions held across the Archdiocese in the preceding 6 months. The ZOC2070 team held a session with all the attendees at the end of Day 1. The participants were introduced to the Zero Out Carbon project through games, songs and a PowerPoint presentation. Despite it being past 9 pm, the participants took part with great enthusiasm and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

The next day, the attendees were all praise for the ZOC2070 team especially the compere, Ms. Suzie D’Silva, who, despite her sore throat, kept the energy levels up and got everyone, quite literally, to sing and dance to her tune. The team was lauded for taking up this current hot topic and immediately working towards the goal of making India carbon-neutral by 2070. All were invited to save the planet by “changing their mindsets and lifestyles rather than making sacrifices”. The youth also enjoyed the ZOC2070 anthem, Why is Coal-Our-Worry, set to the music of Kolaveri Di, the Tanglish hit by Dhanush.
