The Greenathon starts across all the NDTV channels on the today,7th of February 2009 at 7pm. The iniative "Open Up Tomorrow Today" by Toyota and NDTV, will exhibit a series of activities such as round-the-clock clean up drives in Mumbai city and Yamuna Ghats in Delhi; a 24-hour marathon run by Milind Soman and simultaneous green activities taking place across the country.

The campaign aims to raise funds for TERI's 'Light a Billion Lives' project and will provide light through solar power to villages across India, that would otherwise have been without electricity for a decade or more.
NDTV's responsibility towards nature and society is really commendable.I wish with all my heart that this 24 hour programming becomes a great success. Go Green.
