Embracing Nature's Gift: A Memorable Meetup and Thriving Saplings

In our tireless efforts to protect and nurture the environment, our dedicated volunteer group recently organized a meetup in Dwarka, with the primary goal of watering the saplings we had previously planted.

However, the previous day had been graced by an abundant rainfall, leaving our saplings sufficiently quenched and eliminating the need for additional watering. This unexpected gift from nature served as a testament to the interconnectedness we share with the environment. It reminded us that our efforts, combined with nature's benevolence, can create a thriving ecosystem.

Despite the helping hand from the rain Gods, we decided to proceed with the meetup, understanding the importance of maintaining social connections and strengthening our bond as a volunteer community. It was heartwarming to meet two new volunteers who had traveled all the way from Gurugram to join us.

The highlight of the meetup was undoubtedly witnessing the remarkable growth of our saplings. As we surveyed the landscape, we marveled at the transformation that had taken place since their humble beginnings.

Our saplings stood tall, their vibrant green leaves reaching towards the sky, a testament to the nurturing care we have provided them. Seeing their progress served as a powerful reminder of the impact our collective efforts can have on restoring and preserving our natural surroundings.

As we bid farewell to each other at the end of the meetup, we left with a shared sense of purpose and determination. The successful growth of our saplings and the positive impact we have witnessed only reinforced our commitment to nurturing our environment. We vowed to continue our care and support for these saplings, ensuring their long-term survival and contributing to the greener future we envision.

To all those inspired by our journey and eager to contribute to the cause of environmental preservation, we extend an open invitation. Visit our website at http://wmtc.org.in to learn more about our volunteer group, ongoing initiatives, and how you can become an active part of our mission. Together, we can create a better world for future generations, one sapling at a time.

And remember, no plantation drive is complete without regular watering and maintenance.

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 ...

What happens when many hands come together?

An exciting day for us. We never tried it before at this scale at such a location. But with a little help from everyone the day turned out to be outstanding! The place is Janakpuri District Center. It's a large shopping center in west Delhi. Home to various kinds of shops, eateries, restaurants and even offices. Also, a perpetual victim of civil negligence by those who have an establishment here or the visitors to these establishments. Yes, the place maintains consistency all-year round in terms of open garbage dumping. Before we even conducted this drive we spoke to a lot of shop owners to understand the problem. It was the same lamenting around people's attitude towards littering liberally... Forget littering, people found creative ways to dump their garbage - office letter boxes! The other thing that came out of those discussions with the local shopkeepers was finger-pointing on civic authorities. Not that the place doesn't see any sweepers. We did spot one on the day of...

Plantation at Vikas Puri

RAINFALL DEFICIT? PLANT TREES! The monsoons finally arrived in Delhi this week after a long delay… so much so that a joke was doing rounds that clouds had gone to the UK to watch the Cricket World Cup! And for two days the clouds showered us with their generosity. But alas, the subsequent days were dry. A news article quoted government officials stating the dry spell may continue for a while. Contrastingly, there are some parts of India that are drowned in floods. Does any of this tell us something? Well, for starters, there sure is an ecological imbalance. Weather patterns are changing around the world and India is no exception. Even our own meteorological department is considering to define the new ‘normal’ for the onset and withdrawal dates of monsoons. However, we are not sure if that would really help tackle rainfall deficit. Trees are a vital part of our ecosystem. We depend upon them more than their dependence upon us. And that’s th...
