Waste Management Workshop at Bal Bharati Public School

The best teacher is very interactive.
- Bill Gates

And we could feel so with our extremely interactive session with the teachers of BBPS Pusa Road. Kudos to BBPS for trying to adopt all possible environmental practices in the school under a programme named ‘HAMARI BAGHIYA’. It’s under this programme that they are doing segregation of waste and will soon begin composting of their food/ organic waste within their own premises. For this, they needed guidance and thus we conducted a waste management workshop for them this morning.

We are extremely grateful to the 25+ members audience comprising of teachers and sweepers who were extremely warm and showered us with a lot of love and affection. We discussed various aspects of waste management, ways in which waste can be segregated as well as utilized, including their garden waste. We also discussed the kind of composting setup that would be best suited for them. We also talked about the concept of 3Rs - Reduce, Reuse and Recycle and how can it be incorporated in our lives to reduce our garbage and carbon footprint.

The teachers were very enthusiastic and asked many important questions. They also shared a lot of information with us. We are thankful to the headmistress Ms. Sunita Gehani for sparing her precious time to attend the workshop. We also thank all BBPS teachers for their environmental-consciousness to guide children in the right direction.

Would you like us to conduct a similar workshop in your organization or neighbourhood? Do let us know in the comments or DM us.

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
