Watch: India’s Afroz Shah is among CNN’s 2019 Heroes of the Year
Shah was awarded for his efforts to clean up Mumbai’s Versova Beach and ‘his mission to save the world's oceans from plastic pollution’.
"This award, to my mind, is a journey which all of us will have to take to exist peacefully with other species," says Afroz Shah, who recruited an army of volunteers to clean up one of the world's most polluted beaches. #CNNHeroes https://t.co/fowscFFVWF pic.twitter.com/a0mL1bYSaQ
