Every success starts with a
single step which is called as the initiation... A Year back, keystone family with
full involvement celebrated the world environmental day (June 5th
2013) by planting the flower plants in the space nearby office...After planting
the plants it would have increased the ground water level by few percentage and
absorbed decent amount of carbon from atmosphere... Keystone social welfare
community lost their attention towards conducting events last year as most of
them got busy in their work schedule... May 28th, when I was walking towards
the ground floor conference for a meeting, Shashank asked me what the plan for
the World environment day? Till that time I was thinking no one is showing interest,
after his word I felt energetic and that was the first step for the success of
this year’s World Environment day celebration. I replied back, we will do
something interesting where all the people participation will be there.
First I started to find out the
people who are interested in giving the ideas and organizing the events. We
formed a team of five, different suggestions came from each one of us in the team
and at last we sticked to the plan of gifting money plants to everyone and maintain
them in their cubicle , when the plant grow not only the cubicle looks beautiful
but also it serves for better environment.. The other plan was to clean the
Laptop by using the used tooth brush, this idea was mainly to convey stay tidy.
Due to different opions the plan of cleaning laptop was dropped out. During the
Monthly cake cutting event, niranjan and Shashank announced about the overview
of the celebration but not the actual plan of gifting money plants. It’s said,
get a reusable water bottle filled with water and a tooth brush. People were
asked to either come in green or white color attire on June 5th.After
this announcement two more people (Senthil and Anchal) showed their interest in
organizing the events, so I asked senthil to support me in getting the money
plants from local nursery and anchal to prepare a Microsoft presentation which
shows how humans can protect the environment in day today life from destroying
it.
June 4th Me along with
Niranjan, Shanshank and senthil gone to local nursery in HSR layout to inquire
about the Money plant cost and the availability. After few negotiations with
the nursery guy there, we ordered 10 money plants pots and asked the worker to
cut the steam such that we end up in getting 70 to 80 stems... Before the event
start on June 5th, we again gone there settled the amount and got
the stems from the nursery (Thanks to Sridevi who was maintaining the accounts
of KSWC)... Everyone was eagerly waiting for the surprise... Niranjan took the initiative
and said about the plan of growing money plant in every cubicle and the brush
for supporting the plant stem.. Next Shashank described about the process of
growing the money plant with demonstration, in between there were few humorous
quotes by peers which made the event much more interesting...
The Presentation showed by anchal
was so good and reached the people sensationally, she first showed how the
world looks now like Polluted water, polluted air and polluted environment with
some nice back ground music... Later she showed how the humans can take
measures to save the environment for a better future. People applaud with claps
after the presentation is done...At last before gifting the plant to peer I talked
about the future plan... The plant was first gifted to Deepa joshi then later
to RK and then to other peers..
4 weeks passed by, now the new green leaves
started to grow and looks beautiful... “GO
Green”
good one !!!
