Nurturing Our Native Tree Saplings

PED TO LAGAYA... #PaaniDiyaKya?

The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit.

No. of volunteers = 10

Saplings watered = 187

Save trees, save life is not merely a slogan, it is a responsibility which should be followed by each and every person living on the Earth. Trees are a symbol of life on our planet and a natural abode to the marvellous wild animals. In a rapidly advancing world, where homo sapiens are grappling for themselves, trees are living for the benefit of all! It is high time that we stopped taking these precious gifts, that nature has bestowed us with, for granted.

The simplest way our volunteers have adopted to protect trees is to nurture the right from their nascent stage. Hence, following the weekly ritual of watering the native tree saplings that we planted, our watering teams were at Sangam Vihar, Sainik Vihar and Sarvapriya Vihar with their water cans. From carrying filled cans to watering plants to even staking them, these are all moments of ecstasy for these crazy people. Voila! Some of these at Sainik Vihar have grown taller than us. All thanks to our altruistic volunteers!

WE MEAN TO CLEAN's Recommendations to Achieve a Swachh Bharat - I

India is one big nation. We are rich in cultural heritage. Over century we’ve developed, economically, especially the middle class. About 43% of population resides in urban areas, which were 11.4% according to 1901 census, 28.53% in the 2001 census and crossed 30% as per 2011 census, standing at 31.16%. There are 53 urban agglomerations in India with a population of 1 million or more as of 2011 against 35 in 2001. Our transcendence can be termed as “a consumerist culture”, where virtually every item purchased comes fixed in a box wrapped in a bubble sheet. In science, this fact reduces time of impact and absorbs the momentum after collision but in reality it is aggregating to an irreparable damage to environment. It is waste generation. India generates 62 million tonnes out of which 43 million Tonnes Per Annum is collected from source. Read below: 5.6 million tonnes is plastic waste 0.17 million tonnes is biomedical waste, 15 lakh tonne is e-waste 7.90 million ...

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 ...

Cleanliness and Awareness Drive at Chuna Bhatti, Kirti Nagar

HEY IT’S NOT CHILDREN’S DAY, BUT IT IS! Total Volunteers = 25 Garbage Collected = 300 KG Bottle Caps Collected = 121 “The most beautiful thing in the world is a child’s smile. The next best thing? Knowing that you are the reason behind it.” That’s exactly how we all felt when we conducted our cleanliness drive with the kids of Chuna Bhatti slum cluster in Kirti Nagar. Yes, in our newest endeavour we are looking to transform yet another park in this area from a dumping yard to a lush green park. And we had tremendous support from the kids of this place. All so ecstatic and exuberant. We began by briefing the kids and the locals about our aspirations. Thankfully, our ideas elicited a positive response and the much-desired support. As a first step to the entire revamp exercise, we had to clear garbage from this park. Everybody geared up and got going with the job in no time. Sweeping, garbage collection, we did everything to make the place clean. We...
