There's a constant debate over nature or nurture - they're inseparable.

The Delhiites took a breath of cleaner air recently without any worriess of respiratory and lung-related ailments as the city received its first rain spell of the season. With this spell was experienced a drop in temperature as well the AQI. The air quality had improved to satisfactory levels but the brief respite for from the toxic air in the last few days ended today as the overall air quality in the NCR again plunged into ‘poor’ category. It is about time we realize that we are not doing much to fix the problem we have created for ourselves.

Our volunteers are doing their bit every weekend. And this time little kids also joined us in our weekly ritual of watering and maintenance of our saplings in Hauz Khas and Sangam Vihar. Though the rain gods have blessed our saplings at these places, these are all babies and we need to take care of them extremely well until they adapt to their new homes, especially Sangam Vihar. We know that plants respond to extra attention and there we were – in the parks along with our watering cans. To let out a fact, these cans are all used bottles and plastic cans - our bit of reuse. Handling cans and pouring water to their green little friends were two little girls, who joined us at our Hauz Khas watering drive.

We urge everyone to join us in our drives. It won’t cost a thing, instead this would only be a reward in both short and long terms. In short terms a meeting with these plants will calm your senses and in the long run they will protect you from the growing menace of air pollution.

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...
