Watering and Maintenance of Native Tree Saplings

IT'S TIME TO ACT!

Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment. - Oprah Winfrey

Delhi remains shrouded in haze as pollutants in the air have spiked to extremely toxic levels and the air quality is in the severe+ zone.

The capital city is now in a public health emergency as the situation called for an emergency action. Action.

We citizens too need to take some action. Something that solves the problem at the root level. One of them is planting native trees.

Our volunteers have been planting native trees such as peepal, neem, amaltas, pilkhan, marodphali etc. The best part? Our volunteers also water them regularly!

Our volunteers gathered at Sangam Vihar and Hauz Khas to water our existing saplings at these locations.

We carried water from our homes and also sourced it from the locals. Our heartfelt thanks to them for helping us out!

We also used dried leaves for mulching of the saplings to increase water retention capacity of soil. In the end, our volunteers also did some cleaning and collected three kilograms of plastic waste.

Your support is important too! Let’s come together to fight against such horrifying days that threaten our lives every year. Visit http://wmtc.org.in

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...
