Watering Saplings in Rani Bagh

VOLUNTEERING IS IMPORTANT!

Dear Delhi NCR residents,

Feeling the record-breaking heat? Above average seasonal temperature? Dust storms? It’s affecting us all, isn’t it? Yes, all of us. It includes our parents, siblings, spouses, children, friends, relatives etc. Yet we all are being extremely ignorant. At best, most of us are only merely giving lip service in terms of doing something – that we must plant trees etc. or we just forward WhatsApp messages like:

50 hazar ka AC lagwa sakte hain, leking 50 rupye ka ped nahi laga sakte

Environmental protection requires action. We need to go out and DO things rather than just talking or forwarding messages. How many of us are really DOING something?

It’s high time we all woke up and shunned our ignorance, our laziness and our comfort. It’s already costing us a lot! And it’s only going to get worse. Most of us KNOW IT, yet we don’t take any action. Why does environment take a backseat among all our priority matters? Is it because we are now too used to the comfort of apps delivering us latest phones, trendy clothes and even food?!

Let’s not depend upon ANYONE else to take care of environment. Let’s come out of our comfort zones. Let’s volunteer to save ourselves!

It’s this same thought that united a few AWAKE human beings on a Sunday morning to water our native tree saplings that we planted in Rani Bagh. We have alstonia, amaltas, neem and semal who would grow up to give us shade and protect us from this scorching heat. Please help us in ensuring the growth and survival of these saplings for our collective benefit. Only then we would be able to watch future cricket world cup tournaments!

Volunteer with us! Or without us… but do something! It’s important!

2018 Monsoon Plantation - Week 04

🌳 100 AMALTAS SAPLINGS PLANTED!!! 🌳 We are pleased to share that with the help of around 50+ volunteers - including kids from the nearby areas, college students and working adults - we have hit yet another century today. 🌳 We planted 100 amaltas saplings within a matter of two hours, although there was some interruption due to rains. 🌳 We have focused only on amaltas in this park because this area is frequented by goats. Goats don't feed on amaltas. 🌳 We could have planted more saplings but we were out of the scope of pits here. Our volunteers will visit the park mid-week and try to seek the DDA's assistance in removing weeds. Post that we'll see if we can plant any more saplings here. 🌳 Our total saplings count this monsoon season has hit 500! Yes, if you've been following our page, we had planted total 370 till last week, today's 100 and there's another set of ~30 saplings reported by other set of volunteers that they planted.

Embracing Nature's Gift: A Memorable Meetup and Thriving Saplings

In our tireless efforts to protect and nurture the environment, our dedicated volunteer group recently organized a meetup in Dwarka, with the primary goal of watering the saplings we had previously planted. However, the previous day had been graced by an abundant rainfall, leaving our saplings sufficiently quenched and eliminating the need for additional watering. This unexpected gift from nature served as a testament to the interconnectedness we share with the environment. It reminded us that our efforts, combined with nature's benevolence, can create a thriving ecosystem. Despite the helping hand from the rain Gods, we decided to proceed with the meetup, understanding the importance of maintaining social connections and strengthening our bond as a volunteer community. It was heartwarming to meet two new volunteers who had traveled all the way from Gurugram to join us. The highlight of the meetup was undoubtedly witnessing the remarkable growth of our saplings. As we surveyed the ...

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
