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.

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...
