SayTrees in association with volunteers did a plantation drive at Ghazipur landfill. After landfill cleaning, the team and volunteers planted 1000 trees.
SayTrees is a professionally run group of ordinary people extraordinarily determined to protect the environment not just by themselves, but also by sensitising others towards the importance of environment conservation and goading them on to participate in tree-plantation campaigns.
Thanks, team Vikram Bery, Saurabh Jain, Mohit ji for contributing to this plantation drive and sharing this story with Mission Green Delhi Community.
90 percent of water in Delhi comes from sources like the Ganges and Yamuna rivers which originate from the mountains of Uttarakhand state. The water of these rivers is filtered by ten water treatment plants in Delhi and is supplied to the houses of Delhiites by 120 reservoirs or reservoirs. Water samples from the water treatment plant are then tested against the standards of the BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards).
Today it is important to understand the lack of clean drinking water in Delhi and it is important for the people of Delhi to be aware of the water wastage. If we continue to waste groundwater in this way and do not understand the value of water coming from rivers, then soon one will have to yearn for each drop of water.
So let’s join those who are doing the work of transporting wastewater into the earth with the help of new technology & methods. Let’s support those who are bringing new ideas of water conservation and groundwater recharge into practice. Mission Green Mumbai NGO and Center for Science and Environment(CSE) have been very active in helping schools in executing water conservation and groundwater recharge systems.
While the government is planning several water treatment plants to filter the clean water, citizens also have to take initiatives to conserve water in our homes and in our society and colony. Preserving life sources trees and the life sources of trees, water, has become another goal of Mission Green Delhi Community today.
Come and join the Mission Green Delhi Community Platform and talk about the problems related to water, and talk about what we can do as a citizen and how we can connect with the government.
The first Urban forest comes up in Dwarka Sector 7 using Miyawaki Technique- Environment enthusiasts came together to plant 180 trees using the Japanese technique in the green belt adjoining Brahma Apartments in sector 7 Dwarka. Native trees like Neem, Jamun, Amla, Peepal, Guava, Mango, Karonda, Kaner, Bamboo, Calandera etc……. were planted. Using this technique, plants grow very fast and the success rate of tree survival is more than 70%. The oxygen content of the area using this method is 30% more as compared to the traditional method of tree plantation.
The Project is led by Sh Madhukar Varshney and team members (Madhuri Varshney, Deepak Bhardwaj & Munish Kundra) from Rise foundation.
The occasion was graced by Palam Vidhana sabha MLA Sushree Bhawna Gaur, Dr Indra Mani (Senior Scientist, IARI), Sh. Selva Rajan founder of Green Circle, Sh. Ramesh Mumukshu, Environmentalist and several other environment enthusiasts. This project is based on #communityengagement and was crowd funded. We are very much thankful to all generous donors whose contribution and blessing made this project a successful one. We also pay are gratitude to Management of #brahma #apartment #sec7 for their whole hearted support.
Thanks a lot to Madhukar Varshney for sharing this story with Mission Green Delhi audience.
