Green City Clean City



With efforts to spread more greenery and preserve trees and forests is on the rise, cities are making serious efforts to prevent pollution and helping the environment stay clean and hygienic by driving long term and shirt term projects. Non-Governmental organizations too are working in this regard so create awareness amongst citizens to be conscious about environmental health. The residents of societies in Flats in Noida extension have started projects of ensuring the presence of dustbins in short distances so that garbage and waste is not thrown on roads. Delhi societies have also made efforts to plant trees on barren areas of land.
All these efforts are not just an implication of Government orders to MLAs but also a result of people’s awareness and concern for the coming generations. The cases of pollution borne diseases have increased amongst young generation. Cleanliness drive has been initiated by residents of societies in Delhi, Flats in Noida extension and Gurgaon multi-story apartments as well.
Regular pollution check is one for vehicles. Tree cutters are imposed fine so as to curb the practice of cutting trees. Pubic protest not only helps put pressure on Government to punish those who cut trees but also helps government instruct factories and industries to adopt a pollution free and more eco-friendly way of processing. Right from the raw material to processing to finished goods, the companies are instructed to adopt eco-friendly methods for all. The garbage is to be disposed off properly.  Regular pollution checks are also made mandatory by the government. The flats in Noida extension organize cleanliness drives of surrounding areas, planting trees, and enlightening people about the hazards of air pollution. They also impose penalties on removing plants and cutting trees to park vehicles or extending their balconies etc. These factors have led to many localities improving drastically over past years and have given a better quality of life to its resident.

Municipal Corporation of various cities have also publicized their contact numbers so that every person knows their number and can contact them whenever they find a situation where trees are being cut or plants are being uprooted or garbage is being dumped on the roads. Flats in Noidaextension have also partnered with nearby societies and plant trees around malls, hospitals, factories and have also arranged for their regular maintenance and upkeep through gardeners and field workers. These trees not only control pollution but also bind the soil firmly to prevent it from washing away during rains. This prevents any lose soil on roads, preventing any slippage or accidents as is seen during rains and monsoon season. Hence, small efforts at the level of governments, local municipal bodies, societies and individuals, can make a huge difference. Government and local bodies also organize functions to award the societies and flats which have made maximum efforts to promote greenery and they are encourage to protect trees by volunteering small part of their time to ensure safe air and water for the future generations.
