Watering and Maintenance of Sainik Vihar Saplings

AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!

Climate change: I am inevitable. And we are We Mean To Clean.

When Thanos snapped his fingers, half of the universe was destroyed. But what’s coming now is even more dangerous which can destroy this complete world of ours. It's even more dangerous because it's not fiction. It's real! The inevitable climate change.

This Sunday morning, a bunch of real life avengers assembled like every other Sunday to fight against that real threat on our world. Our infinity stones are the native tree saplings of amaltas which we planted last monsoon. And to use them as one of the unrivalled weapons against climate change and pollution, it is the responsibility of every avenger to nurture these saplings properly and regularly.

For the very purpose, this fervent group of people gathered at Sainik Vihar District park to water over 150 amaltas saplings to ensure their proper growth and survival. And this time a lot of new volunteers joined us in this amazing mission of ours.

The biggest support that we get here is the zealous kids living nearby who join us every time in our drives to do their bit in the betterment of the environment. Even they realize that the survival of this world is at stake and so is their future. So, it is the responsibility of one and all to come forward and do their bit in saving this world before its too late.

We hope that more real life avengers like you will also join and support us in this amazing initiative of ours and together we will do whatever it takes.

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

Native Trees Nursery Expansion

50+ more saplings added! We are reusing waste plastic packets as grow bags to set up our own nursery of native trees. Our volunteers added 50+ bakain saplings to our green bank. This nursery will help us become ‘atmanirbhar’ (self-reliant). We’ll be using them in our plantation drives.

Covid-safe Waste Segregation Workshop in Vikas Puri

Did you know that the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) has begun penalizing RWAs that are not giving segregated waste to the waste collectors? If not, it’s ok. Many aren’t aware. But this caught the attention of one of our volunteers whose neighbourhood falls under the SDMC. And we believe it’s a great opportunity to push various resident welfare associations (RWA) even further. We have been pursuing the RWA of block AG 1 in Vikas Puri in west Delhi. Fortunately, the news of SDMC penalizing RWAs acted as a wake up call and things seem to be falling into place. We were requested to conduct a workshop on the same discussing various aspects of waste management, segregation at source, its increased significance in covid times and role of waste collectors. Also, we have been asked to help with the roadmap and execution of the same. In the coming few days we are going to use all our learning from our Sarita Vihar experience to replicate the same model here, which involved educating t
