Prasad Nagar Lake Revival

Prasad Nagar Lake Revival - Week 02

A very special day as the whole world celebrates Mother's Day today. Our team attempted to make people give a thought to another mother - the mother of all mothers - MOTHER NATURE!

We asked people to display their love and commitment towards mother nature by hugging a tree!

Also, as a part of our efforts to revive the lake we politely requested visitors not to put atta for ants around the trees as infestation by insects makes the area hollow and porous leading to a weak support for tree roots. At the worst trees can fall! Mother nature has equipped ants with enough sense to locate their food!

We also requested not to keep bajra for pigeons as pigeons' population has disproportionately increased over the past years. And this has created an imbalance in the population of birds in our city. It has also affected sparrows, which are rare now! Mother nature has also equipped pigeons to locate their own food... they don't need us.

We also requested not to put any atta or bread in the lake as the already contaminated water will just contaminate the food, which is lethal for the aquatic life. Fish can take all their nutrients from the water body.

Additionally, we our team also ran a mini cleanliness drive and encouraged people to use dustbins in the park.

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 ...

Janak Cinema Complex, Janakpuri

We Mean To Clean shares experience of their Janak Cinema Complex Spotfix on January 28, 2017 Anticipating a chilly January morning, the team assembled slightly late - around 11 AM - on Saturday, the 28th at the Janak Cinema Complex, in Janakpuri - a posh, residential locality of Delhi. Although it has - like any other residential colony of Delhi - a list of problems, the most visible of them was an absence of a public hygiene consciousness. That became instantly clear when we noticed that the community shopping complex around the cinema hall - which was essentially the target for the day - had no dustbins installed anywhere. What it did have was filth: garbage in multiple heaps beside each of the temporary vendors that set up shop at such locations, pillars riddled with posters advertising everything under the sun. Rains the previous night had worsened the situation with the main approach road to the complex having become waterlogged. Amidst the aforementioned circumst...

Door-to-Door Awareness on Waste Segregation, Sarita Vihar

AND IT CONTINUES... Remember our ongoing waste segregation awareness campaign at Sarita Vihar? Our volunteers continued the efforts last weekend as well. This time we covered 150+ houses and that too, within just three hours. It was exciting to receive immense positive response from residents. Some of them are even segregating their waste effectively! Along with a few more residents, we also sensitized the waste pickers to bring two collection bags - one for dry waste and one for wet waste. The locals have started taking actions. But we can’t do it alone. Need your support as well. Join us in our efforts and help us providing solution to Delhi’s garbage crisis. Visit http://wmtc.org.in
