Future course of action

 

 

Introduction of an environmental curriculum in schools.This plan aims to provide information to students, particularly the middle school youth, about various ecological issues that affect our world today. The course could be designed a way that evokes enthusiasm and participation from students- instead of lectures or boring textbooks where students are forced to cram page after page of gibberish, we could instead have interactive sessions and quizzes. Students must be encouraged to make presentations and talk about issues that they feel are harming today’s world whether it be the state of the yamuna, water conservation, saving precious natural resources etc. The objective of this method is to make our future generation more environment friendly and conscious of their surroundings.
It is imperative for school authorities to realize that , besides equipping the students with knowledge in conventional subjects like maths, science, english etc there is also the need so to imbibe in students their responsibilities of being socially and environmentally alive.

Involving colleges through an informal and personal approach. WFY is a youth movement launched by student volunteers and thus they are essential to our cause. We plan establish a one to one contact with students through street plays, wall magazines and personal mobilization.

Targeting the residential colonies- Resident Welfare Associations could encourage the populace especially housewives to minimize domestic waste. Garbage could be put in different bins, one for biodegradable materials and one for non-biodegradable materials. In addition to this, one could also involve the servants and the nearby slum dwellers in the campaign for a cleaner environment. Signature campaigns, article campaigns and photo exhibitions and film documentaries could help in sensitizing people. Colonies like Jor Bagh in New Delhi have begun the process of water harvesting. Similar efforts could be initiated with the efforts of the RWA’s to start a green brigade.

Tackling the slums.
Our idea is to research the slums near the river about create a specially tailored workshop module for further awareness creation and introduction of income generation schemes such as manual recycling of paper, making paper and jute bags etc thus involving them in the clean up drive as well.
