Celebrating its 30th anniversary, Kalorex has reimagined its mascot, Yali, as Yali – The Green Guardian, a nature superhero designed to instil a deep love and respect for nature among students.
Dr. Manjula Pooja Shroff, MD and CEO of Kalorex, said, “At Kalorex, we believe that the key to securing a better and sustainable future lies in empowering our children. By nurturing their love for nature, we are cultivating the environmental champions of tomorrow. Our Sustainability Plan curriculum and Yali – The Green Guardian initiatives reflect this vision, making every child a vital ally in the fight against climate change.”
The Sustainability Plan curriculum was officially launched on June 13, coinciding with the reopening of schools after the summer vacation, and just over a week after World Environment Day. This initiative engages students, staff, and parents, encouraging them to follow Yali – The Green Guardian and form The Green Guardian Force. It is designed to educate and inspire the entire Kalorex community to adopt sustainable living practices through a series of focused activities aligned with five strategic environmental tenets.
The Blue Island tenet focuses on saving water and saving the planet, and the Green Garden on planting trees for a greener future. The Energy Station focuses on switching off appliances and switching on smartness and the Recycle Yard on recycling, reusing and repeating. The Reduction Booth aims to reduce pollution and reduce waste.
Each month, the Sustainability Plan curriculum will especially focus on one of these tenets, integrating specific activities into the school subjects across all educational levels. These activities are designed to raise awareness and instil the principles of sustainable living and love for nature among students of all ages.
For the introductory month of June, the focus is on raising awareness and empathy for environmental causes, echoing Yali – The Green Guardian’s message: “Love Nature, Live with Nature.”
