Watering and Maintenance of Sangam Vihar Saplings

PED TO LAGAYA… #PaaniDiyaKya?

Finding green beneath browns is what we call treasure.

Ever wondered why we feel calm in the lap of nature? Or why do we even keep artificial plants at homes? That’s because of the green colour which is the Nature’s colour. Green is restful, soothing, cheerful, and health-giving. It represents growth, nature, money and safety. The color green is a relaxing color that is pleasing to the eye and is said to have healing powers.

There’s one more aspect of the green which is very crucial for our volunteers - and we call it LIFE. That’s what our volunteers were looking for in our saplings at Sangam Vihar last weekend. We were disheartened to discover that most of the planted saplings have turned leafless. But thanks to the scratch test, the lively shade of green appeared within browns that amped us up and we knew that the saplings might have turned leafless, but not lifeless. A simple soil depression check by pressing it with our feet led us to conclude that the soil there was considerably moist due to winters that watering is not required in most of them. Yeah, excess of everything is bad, even water!

In all, it was a nice early morning visit to our saplings.

Help us in maintaining our saplings.

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 ...

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

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...
