Be it birthday, festival, wedding, job promotion or any normal day, we all like gifts. Don’t we? Right from receiving, unwrapping and to discovering what’s inside - we are so amped and it doesn’t end there - we lovingly keep the gifts with utmost excitement and care. But, where does our excitement disappear for the most precious gift we got from mother nature?? GIFT OF LIFE!

Everything we need to survive, and thrive, is provided by the nature around us: food, water, air. Yet, Many of us have conveniently disconnected ourselves from the natural world. Whilst, we humans may have forgotten but mother nature continues to be giving as ever, even in times when it is unfortunately vanishing bit-by-bit.

Let's not forget, trees are a beautiful part of the natural environment and such amazingly efficient machines—constantly making our Earth a healthier planet. Did you know one tree can sequester more than one ton of carbon dioxide in its lifetime? Planting trees and nurturing them is one way we can retrieve the imbalance we, humans have created.

Our volunteers are doing their bit by planting native tree saplings. Not just this, we understand the struggle a sapling undergoes in the initial years. Thus, we take continuous care of the planted ones. Following this, we were again with our saplings at Hauz Khas, Sainik Vihar and Sangam Vihar this morning. Some carried filled water bottles from homes whilst others refilled them from a nearby source, all-in-all, we made sure to quench the thirst of our little saplings.

Your support is needed too! Join us and let’s fight against pollution together: 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...
