Watering and Maintenance of Native Tree Saplings

BUILDING GREEN MACHINES!

A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success. - Elbert Hubbard

Are you in Delhi NCR? The rising AQI levels bothering you? Well, the worsening air quality in Delhi has entered the poor category with the only consolation being that pollution is not as bad as that of previous years.

Yes, you read it right... It’s better than previous years! Doesn’t this act as a ray of hope? A hope for a breathable Delhi! And this hope is something which motivates our volunteers to keep working towards the solution - building and raising natural carbon sinks in the capital.

With the same mission, our volunteers went to nurture these carbon sinks - our saplings at Hauz Khas, Sainik Vihar and Sangam Vihar. If you are a regular follower of our page you would know we have many native tree saplings in these locations - few of them being amaltas, mehendi, neem, amla, pilkhan, hibiscus.

Our volunteers ensure that these saplings get water by either carrying filled water bottles from their homes or arranging it from a nearby source. Unfortunately some of our saplings have been uprooted but we’ll do replacement plantation - you can join us!

Our saplings are growing up and we hope they would mature in the next few months. It gives us immense happiness and satisfaction watching them grow, taking care of them, and praying for their health and safety. Hope these small ones grow big and strong!

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 ...

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

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...
