“In a light-hearted, sarcastic gesture, we awarded some of our political leaders with the “Fossil Fool” awards to symbolize their resistance to move India beyond coal,” they said.
Children from Cathedral School in Bangalore took part in a human art action. The blackening human lung with the message “Coal Kills” was meant to depict the adverse health impacts coal mining and thermal power plants cause to people who live around them.
Small groups in London and Paris also rallied in support.
As they said: “The day of action was a small step in the long fight to make India go renewable. There’s still much work left to be done and we need you with us.”
