Bangalore is becoming hotter
these days, rare to find trees to stand for a while and relax. There is no
place to plant a tree and the planted trees on sides of roads are dying due to lack
of water. Is the way the world should be? Human selfishness is reaching its
heights...I still feel guilty that, Why my bedroom has wooden cart and wooden
cub board...
My home is five KM from office
and I drive in cycle daily. Before reaching the office I sweat a lot and the food
I had for breakfast would have been already digested... If the trees are available
on the way, I would haven’t sweated a lot…That’s where I got any idea of
adopting a road side plants which is onstage of dying without water and
watering them daily on the way to office. I started with one and now adopted
one more...
I searched for a plant near my office and found one which is on the
initial stage of life with few leaves popped out from stem, some are dried
already and to check whether the plant still has life I scratched the steam with
my thumb life and it showed green. I dedicated a plastic bottle (500 ml) for
this plant and before going to bed daily I fill the bottle with kitchen waste
water (No oil and detergent mixed water).If possible I will mix some cow manure
and ash to it for nutrition. The first thing I do after waking up is , take the
bottle and place in the cycle carrier otherwise there is a possibility I may
forget.In the place where the plant is there, cab drivers used to chit chat
there and throw plastic wrappers over there.. Even educated people litter these
days why not these guys (Not a big deal) ..I just clean up and water the plant…On
weekdays, the idea looked well but how about on weekends? Following drip
irrigation Method. Fill the bottle with water on Friday night and leave it... It
has been a month now I adopted this plant and it showed a good progress till now,
hopefully by next year or two it will grow big and give shade to people.
Instead of me cursing the hotness
of weather, I found a solution which will cure the hotness... Hope by next
year hotness will not be more…
“I have started the Adoption Process,
How about you? “
I liked your thinking of using Kitchen Waste water.
