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.

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...

Plantation at Vikas Puri

RAINFALL DEFICIT? PLANT TREES! The monsoons finally arrived in Delhi this week after a long delay… so much so that a joke was doing rounds that clouds had gone to the UK to watch the Cricket World Cup! And for two days the clouds showered us with their generosity. But alas, the subsequent days were dry. A news article quoted government officials stating the dry spell may continue for a while. Contrastingly, there are some parts of India that are drowned in floods. Does any of this tell us something? Well, for starters, there sure is an ecological imbalance. Weather patterns are changing around the world and India is no exception. Even our own meteorological department is considering to define the new ‘normal’ for the onset and withdrawal dates of monsoons. However, we are not sure if that would really help tackle rainfall deficit. Trees are a vital part of our ecosystem. We depend upon them more than their dependence upon us. And that’s th...
