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.

2018 Monsoon Plantation - Week 04

🌳 100 AMALTAS SAPLINGS PLANTED!!! 🌳 We are pleased to share that with the help of around 50+ volunteers - including kids from the nearby areas, college students and working adults - we have hit yet another century today. 🌳 We planted 100 amaltas saplings within a matter of two hours, although there was some interruption due to rains. 🌳 We have focused only on amaltas in this park because this area is frequented by goats. Goats don't feed on amaltas. 🌳 We could have planted more saplings but we were out of the scope of pits here. Our volunteers will visit the park mid-week and try to seek the DDA's assistance in removing weeds. Post that we'll see if we can plant any more saplings here. 🌳 Our total saplings count this monsoon season has hit 500! Yes, if you've been following our page, we had planted total 370 till last week, today's 100 and there's another set of ~30 saplings reported by other set of volunteers that they planted.

Five Great Ways to Celebrate Eco-friendly Diwali

We Mean To Clean shares their ideas to celebrate Diwali in an eco-friendly yet enjoyable way! It’s that time of the year again. The biggest festivals of all. A day to be with family. A day full of auspiciousness, togetherness and love. The most royal of all, the festival of lights… yes, Diwali. We all know how our air quality goes down on this night, especially in a city like Delhi, where air quality is already poor. So, here we are to offer you some suggestions to celebrate Diwali in an eco-friendly way! We hope you’ll like these ideas. 1. Avoid Firecrackers This is a common one and it goes without saying. Firecrackers not only add to air pollution but they also cause sound pollution. High decibel sound is especially harmful for sensitive ears of infants and small children. And let’s also show some compassion to our pets and stray animals who live in our vicinity. And worse, they emit toxic fumes which are harmful for our health. Additionally, we all know the amount...

Awareness Drive at Chuna Bhatti, Kirti Nagar

DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE Total Volunteers = 15 Households Covered in Door to Door Awareness = 80 Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible. - Francis of Assisi Changing oneself is difficult. Changing someone else is arduous. Changing the masses is nearly impossible. And this is what we are trying to do at Chuna Bhatti slum cluster in Kirti Nagar. We are attempting to restore a park from its current abused state as a garbage dumping yard to a garden full of fruit trees and medicinal herbs and shrubs. However, we need locals to shun their habit of littering or garbage dumping in the park. As a first step of this colossal ambition our volunteers began by spreading awareness among the locals. Our initial conversation was with a few people in the park. We were fortunate that these people showed immense interest in our mission. Some were quite positive that such change with everyone’s support is possib...
