Noida City Centre Spotfix on Apr 30, 2017

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:

2018 Monsoon Plantation - Week 04

🌳 100 AMALTAS SAPLINGS PLANTED!!! 🌳 We are pleased to share that with the help of around 50+ volunteers - including kids from the nearby areas, college students and working adults - we have hit yet another century today. 🌳 We planted 100 amaltas saplings within a matter of two hours, although there was some interruption due to rains. 🌳 We have focused only on amaltas in this park because this area is frequented by goats. Goats don't feed on amaltas. 🌳 We could have planted more saplings but we were out of the scope of pits here. Our volunteers will visit the park mid-week and try to seek the DDA's assistance in removing weeds. Post that we'll see if we can plant any more saplings here. 🌳 Our total saplings count this monsoon season has hit 500! Yes, if you've been following our page, we had planted total 370 till last week, today's 100 and there's another set of ~30 saplings reported by other set of volunteers that they planted.

Five Great Ways to Celebrate Eco-friendly Diwali

We Mean To Clean shares their ideas to celebrate Diwali in an eco-friendly yet enjoyable way! It’s that time of the year again. The biggest festivals of all. A day to be with family. A day full of auspiciousness, togetherness and love. The most royal of all, the festival of lights… yes, Diwali. We all know how our air quality goes down on this night, especially in a city like Delhi, where air quality is already poor. So, here we are to offer you some suggestions to celebrate Diwali in an eco-friendly way! We hope you’ll like these ideas. 1. Avoid Firecrackers This is a common one and it goes without saying. Firecrackers not only add to air pollution but they also cause sound pollution. High decibel sound is especially harmful for sensitive ears of infants and small children. And let’s also show some compassion to our pets and stray animals who live in our vicinity. And worse, they emit toxic fumes which are harmful for our health. Additionally, we all know the amount...

Native Tree Plantation at Ajmal Khan Park, Karol Bagh

PLANT A TREE, PLANT A LIFE! Total Volunteers = 16 Saplings Planted = 23 (amaltas, pilkhan) Bottle Caps Collected = 287 Continuing our weekly efforts in the monsoon season of 2019, we returned to the Ajmal Khan park on 10th of August. With a clear objective of planting native trees none needed any briefing on what to do. We had our own volunteers as well as some of the local residents. It was a pleasant morning that helped everyone’s high spirits. The soil was quite hard on the patch we targeted for our plantation. Thanks to the absence of rains and also the minor amounts of construction and demolition waste buried beneath. And we had to dig pits here! Well, it allowed some of the team members to display their muscular prowess. The seemingly difficult task of digging pits looked smooth with spades in the hands of a daedal bunch of people. Once we had a few pits dug, we started planting our beloved saplings. Oh! The joy of removing them from ...
