We Mean To Clean shares experience of their Noida City Centre Spotfix on April 30, 2017

There are experiences which can alter the dimensions of mind and mould it to think broadly.

With this as the motto We Mean To Clean (WMTC) conducted their another cleanliness drive at Noida City Centre Metro Station’s parking.

When one exited from the terminus of uber class commuting transport, the smeared face of staunch neglect was inevitable. Although there is a considerably well maintained Sulabh Toilet Complex, the wall of parking bay actually radiated some different colors due to open urination. Adding to the woes, the path for the pedestrians was the poor cousin of the stench scenario.

When WMTC volunteers got to know about this, they visited the spot. In a general checkup of the spot, the area was diagnosed with sporadic cleaning, minimal enforcement and zero awareness. So as a general strategy, for the basic cleansing NOIDA authority was approached. With the coordination from the authorities, the cleaning was regularized a week well prior to the painting fun day. The volunteers also visited before the fixing day and talked to auto-drivers regarding the problem.

The volunteers, from kids to working professionals reached early on 30th April for fixing of the spot and split into teams. One were peeling off the posters, pamphlets and while the other were preparing the items for painting. In a couple of hours, the onlookers started to amazingly witness the transformation.

The children were imprinting their tiny hands in different colors, learning the important lessons of life. The wall was being covered with designs in green, yellow and white, emanating the aspects of each realm.

It was almost afternoon, when a rejuvenated, freshened up, emitting positivity and perfect for selfies wall of the parking bay emerged. One rare thing was present there, the smiles of satisfaction.

WMTC is all about it's volunteers who pledge to bring change and invites everyone to donate some time.

All we have ever needed is just a start because things shall always follow up! Have a look at the photos here:

An Experience with Home Composting

Home-made Compost My Motivation There can be different motivating factors for composting your organic waste at home. Compost is an excellent source of nutrition for your plants and home composting ensures it is free of any added chemicals. However, I do not have many plants at the ground floor, where I live. So, my motivation was different. I wanted to start the practice of segregating our household waste into: Wet Waste including kitchen waste such as fruits and vegetable peels, leftover raw food etc. Dry Waste including plastic, paper, cardboard etc. Why Segregate? It is important to segregate our waste because doing so makes waste a resource. Wet waste can yield products like compost and dry waste can be recycled. In both cases we can reduce our contribution to our local dhalaos . These dhalaos become a breeding spot for flies and other insects that are harmful to our health. Further, segregating also ensures that your waste collector won’t have to put thei

Alarm Bells for Humanity Keep Ringing

A recent study published in the journal Nature Climate Change has revealed alarming predictions about the Earth's future. Despite countries' efforts to meet their current emissions targets, the study shows that the world is still on track to warm by 2.7 degrees Celsius. This projected temperature rise would far surpass the 1.5 degrees Celsius target set by scientists as the threshold to avoid the most severe consequences of climate change. The implications of exceeding the 1.5 degrees Celsius target are significant. Scientists warn that crossing this threshold could lead to catastrophic impacts on our planet. In order to prevent such a scenario, the study's authors emphasize the urgent need to rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 70% before 2050. This ambitious goal requires immediate action and a comprehensive approach to combat climate change. The study's findings underscore the urgency and importance of taking immediate action to mitigate the impacts of climate
