KUDOS TO THIS WMTC VOLUNTEER AT IPL

KUDOS TO THIS WMTC VOLUNTEER AT IPL – DC vs RR!

One of our volunteers attended the IPL match held between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals at the Ferozshah Kotla stadium in New Delhi last Saturday. After the match was over and Delhi fans were elated with their team’s win, this volunteer looked around was left slightly disappointed.

He observed that while the fans had gone most of them had left behind the banners and flags that they had brought for cheering the teams. Lots of people had thrown empty chips packets and cold drinks glasses around the stands rather than in the dustbins.

Being a good samaritan, our volunteer picked up all the flags and banners and piled them up on the stadium chairs. He also collected all the garbage and put it in a bag. This was a very humble but a very significant effort on his part.

Ideally, all the fans who went for this IPL spectacle should have made a little effort to throw used and empty packets etc. in the dustbin. At the FIFA World Cup held last year in Russia, fans from Japan set a great example for the rest of the world by staying back after matches to clean up the garbage inside the stadiums after matches. The Japanese fans earned respect and accolades across the globe with their kind gesture off the field.

We Indians should also learn from them and pick up after ourselves. It will hardly take five minutes to throw the trash in a dustbin, but it will go a long way to keep our surroundings clean and beautiful. All of us at We Mean to Clean appeal to all the sports fans to please ensure that you leave the stadium clean post watching a match!

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

Cleanliness Drive and Plantation at Ajmal Khan Park, Karol Bagh

FRIENDSHIP DAY PLANTATION! Total Volunteers = 25 Garbage Collected = 5 KG Saplings Planted = 20 (amaltas, pilkhan) A friend in need is a friend indeed. We are all familiar with this old adage. What do we humans need for our survival at the most fundamental level? Oxygen and water. And we all know that trees give us both. How about food? Trees take care of that on a lot of counts too! We know they fulfil our most basic needs. We can conclude that they are our real friends. We do not have an existence without them. Thus, to celebrate the day in its most fundamental sense, We Mean To Clean (WMTC) volunteers gathered at the famed Ajmal Khan park in Karol Bagh on Sunday morning. We also had the presence of local residents to support us with immense ardor. We began by thanking them for their support and briefing them upon the benefits of native trees. Eventually, we got going with our task of the day. Thankfully, we already had a few pits dug up to exp

We had an amazing meetup yesterday, surrounded by lush greenery and the delightful calls of peacocks and peahens. 🌿🦚 Our volunteers arrived from different directions, bringing their passion for the environment and their commitment to making a positive change. 🌍❤️ Together, we accomplished so much! We added more grow bags to our nursery, giving a new life to waste plastic packets. ♻️🌱 And guess what? Our nursery now houses a variety of beautiful tree species, including jamun, mango, amaltas, sheesham, and neem. 🌳🌿 Our volunteers went above and beyond. One of them brought a precious mango sapling, symbolizing growth, abundance, and sweet rewards. 🥭🌱 Another volunteer surprised us with a peepal sapling, representing wisdom, resilience, and deep-rooted connection with nature. 🌳🌿 We're grateful for the enthusiasm and dedication shown by each volunteer.
