The Sapling Song!


PRESENTING… THE SAPLING SONG!!!

Planted a sapling? Paani diya kya? (Did you water it?)

Read what a sapling has to say! Thanks to Dollyy A Kataaria for this...

I am a little bundle of joy
Forget me not like an old toy
One beautiful sight; I reside
My friend planted me here and hugged me tight!
I tell yummy soil and sunny light
I won't stay this little alright
For sands of time run
All of us together have fun!
Before you will even know;
My friend waters me to grow!
I dream to grow so big like a big green tree
Just like that big one there you see

But, I am ONLY a little bundle of joy
IF you forget me like an old toy
What do I do of beautiful sight?
I miss that day when you hugged me tight!
But my thirst is rising with sunlight
Difficult to stay alright!
Today sands of time run
Looking at me make fun
Before you will even know
Thirst can let me go
My friend quickly you come...
Time and tide waits for none
Thank you for coming dear!
I was today living before in fear!

I am a little BIGGER bundle of joy
My friend remembers me more than his favourite toy
One beautiful sight I reside
With timeless love, care and hugs always tight!
Didn't I tell you yummy soil and sunny light;
I won't stay little alright
For sands of time run
Growing up is such fun!
Before you will even know
My friend waters me to grow!
Soon I shall grow big enough
If I give you idea in rough
I favour back my friend in need
Will give fresh air and shade indeed!

Plantation is not merely about plantation of a sapling. It's also about nurturing the little one by regular watering and maintenance until it becomes self-sustainable. It's not a one-day affair. It's a fairly long term commitment, it's a relationship!

So, next time you go for a plantation drive, let that not be merely for an Instagram pic. Please water the sapling regularly so that the effort is really useful.

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

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 ...

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...
