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:

WE MEAN TO CLEAN's Recommendations to Achieve a Swachh Bharat - I

India is one big nation. We are rich in cultural heritage. Over century we’ve developed, economically, especially the middle class. About 43% of population resides in urban areas, which were 11.4% according to 1901 census, 28.53% in the 2001 census and crossed 30% as per 2011 census, standing at 31.16%. There are 53 urban agglomerations in India with a population of 1 million or more as of 2011 against 35 in 2001. Our transcendence can be termed as “a consumerist culture”, where virtually every item purchased comes fixed in a box wrapped in a bubble sheet. In science, this fact reduces time of impact and absorbs the momentum after collision but in reality it is aggregating to an irreparable damage to environment. It is waste generation. India generates 62 million tonnes out of which 43 million Tonnes Per Annum is collected from source. Read below: 5.6 million tonnes is plastic waste 0.17 million tonnes is biomedical waste, 15 lakh tonne is e-waste 7.90 million ...

What happens when many hands come together?

An exciting day for us. We never tried it before at this scale at such a location. But with a little help from everyone the day turned out to be outstanding! The place is Janakpuri District Center. It's a large shopping center in west Delhi. Home to various kinds of shops, eateries, restaurants and even offices. Also, a perpetual victim of civil negligence by those who have an establishment here or the visitors to these establishments. Yes, the place maintains consistency all-year round in terms of open garbage dumping. Before we even conducted this drive we spoke to a lot of shop owners to understand the problem. It was the same lamenting around people's attitude towards littering liberally... Forget littering, people found creative ways to dump their garbage - office letter boxes! The other thing that came out of those discussions with the local shopkeepers was finger-pointing on civic authorities. Not that the place doesn't see any sweepers. We did spot one on the day of...

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...
