October 23rd is Sustainability Day, October 24th is Global Day of Climate Action. While we mark these days and our OTT platforms deliver large content about Environment & Sustainability, my thoughts are
1. Do we go beyond entertainment, and focus on Education?
2. After we watch these documentaries, do we take positive Climate Action at a person level?
