CONNECTING PEOPLE WITH NATURE!

In order to make people feel attached to Prasad Nagar Lake, we involved them in plantation in the lake park today.

The gesture was well received and much appreciated by the locals. They pledged to take care of the saplings by watering them.

Additionally, the locals also felt more enthusiastic about cleaning of the lake and agreed to cooperate by spreading awareness among the visitors on littering or dropping wheat flour balls in the lake.

As for the actual cleaning process, we had a meeting with DDA officials yesterday, along with their contractor. While the contractor is fixated on the idea of removal of silt only when the lake dries up, we believe it's not possible this season.

Thus, the DDA officials have sought our proposal on the same - how to clean the lake while it is still full of water. Our experts are drafting a proposal on the same and we are looking to submit the same during this week.

However, till then we have to keep our other efforts going on. One of them is spreading awareness among the visitors, which our volunteers are diligently doing. And the other set was leading the scene to keep the park clean by themselves clearing the litter in lake 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
