All About It
We at Forengers have restarted our plantation drives from this February. February is a good season for plantation. All the research is done and we are all set to welcome some new green friends. Along with planting trees we have started the "Paper Bag" initiative which includes making useful paper bags from scrap paper.
Highlights
This Sunday we are planning to make paper bags and also repair and replant some plants that are not planted properly or those which are growing in an improper manner.
Who should attend?
If you are conscious about climate change and actually want to make an impact, you are all welcome. People with age between 16 - 25 are especially invited to attend as the drive includes hill climbing
Travel Not Included
Stay Not Applicable
Meals Not Included
Plant Repairing : We at forengers plant new saplings but never forget to take care of the old ones. In repairing drives we replant the saplings which are growing in an improper manner. Also we dig circular trenches around the plant to avoid grazing and burning of plants due to locally ignited fires. Paper bag making : The paper bag initiative is rather a new idea but is blooming rapidly. On 9th Feb , 80 paper bags were made which were later distributed to local flower vendors and small chemists to stop them from using plastic bags and start using paper bags.

Forengers emerged out of a simple idea to plant one sapling per week. With this philosophy, we hosted an event on social media to invite anyone who was interested and saw a good turnout. And it has grown ever since, now we host cleanliness drives along with plantation campaigns. Each sapling we plant is tagged, covered with a shed of bamboo and cloth, watered 4 times a week and tracked for growth. We ensure that every sapling survives the next monsoon season so that it can survive the later stages on its own. Moreover, the garbage we collect is disposed to composting facilities or recycling centers based on the nature of waste ensuring minimum impact. We want to shift the focus of masses from mere concern to action. A lot is being shared by people in classrooms, social media platforms, etc but we aim to provide our community a platform where they can actually make an impact.
