11 SAPLINGS ADDED TO OUR NEW PLANTATION SITE

In our efforts to transform a barren plot of land into micro-forested area, our volunteers added 11 native tree saplings to the already existing saplings. So, now a total of 40+ amaltas, neem, peepal, aam, gutel, kadipatta, gudal, jamun, pilkhan, siras and baheda young ones stand there to grow up as healthy adults.

We were joined by a group of ardent kids who helped us with the entire drive starting from planting saplings to fencing them with the help of sticks and finally watering all of them - the earlier ones too! As we always say - we take care of our planted saplings regularly.

Our volunteers will keep visiting the site regularly to keep a tab on the existing saplings and also introduce more of them. Till then, we hope they stay safe and sound within the boundaries of the wall.

An Experience with Home Composting

Home-made Compost My Motivation There can be different motivating factors for composting your organic waste at home. Compost is an excellent source of nutrition for your plants and home composting ensures it is free of any added chemicals. However, I do not have many plants at the ground floor, where I live. So, my motivation was different. I wanted to start the practice of segregating our household waste into: Wet Waste including kitchen waste such as fruits and vegetable peels, leftover raw food etc. Dry Waste including plastic, paper, cardboard etc. Why Segregate? It is important to segregate our waste because doing so makes waste a resource. Wet waste can yield products like compost and dry waste can be recycled. In both cases we can reduce our contribution to our local dhalaos . These dhalaos become a breeding spot for flies and other insects that are harmful to our health. Further, segregating also ensures that your waste collector won’t have to put thei

Cleanliness Drive and Plantation at Ajmal Khan Park, Karol Bagh

FRIENDSHIP DAY PLANTATION! Total Volunteers = 25 Garbage Collected = 5 KG Saplings Planted = 20 (amaltas, pilkhan) A friend in need is a friend indeed. We are all familiar with this old adage. What do we humans need for our survival at the most fundamental level? Oxygen and water. And we all know that trees give us both. How about food? Trees take care of that on a lot of counts too! We know they fulfil our most basic needs. We can conclude that they are our real friends. We do not have an existence without them. Thus, to celebrate the day in its most fundamental sense, We Mean To Clean (WMTC) volunteers gathered at the famed Ajmal Khan park in Karol Bagh on Sunday morning. We also had the presence of local residents to support us with immense ardor. We began by thanking them for their support and briefing them upon the benefits of native trees. Eventually, we got going with our task of the day. Thankfully, we already had a few pits dug up to exp

Alarm Bells for Humanity Keep Ringing

A recent study published in the journal Nature Climate Change has revealed alarming predictions about the Earth's future. Despite countries' efforts to meet their current emissions targets, the study shows that the world is still on track to warm by 2.7 degrees Celsius. This projected temperature rise would far surpass the 1.5 degrees Celsius target set by scientists as the threshold to avoid the most severe consequences of climate change. The implications of exceeding the 1.5 degrees Celsius target are significant. Scientists warn that crossing this threshold could lead to catastrophic impacts on our planet. In order to prevent such a scenario, the study's authors emphasize the urgent need to rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 70% before 2050. This ambitious goal requires immediate action and a comprehensive approach to combat climate change. The study's findings underscore the urgency and importance of taking immediate action to mitigate the impacts of climate
