Ramesh garu, Good cause for a better future. no doubt. But, We need to first decide ourselves as to what this group is for ,what its objectives are and what are the resources available on hand. I personally feel lets not deviate from our primary task of making a difference in lives of people who due to their circumstances are not able to achieve things that they deserve. This is my personal opinion.
I would like be part of a different group that might be interested in green conservation.

Iam very intersted to take care of plants and educate the people about how to save the water. And i looked into the internet to find some information about the things that we can make a difference in daily life. i searched for it, found the fallowing wesite http://www.rebuildi ndia.org/ LiveProblems. asp which gives detailed description of every problem ( like planting trees to sanitation in the villages) and solutions for the problems. I felt that this is very useful information and one can choose their interest ( if they dont have particular one) in to the things ( can be find in the above website ) and do the work ( or think ) accordingly. I wish to participate or take my time into taking care of plants and cleaning processes ( right now for discussion part and when i come back to india , i would like to take it as full-pledged field work) .. If some of you are intersted to work towards the plants and keeping clean the premises ( mostly), we can form as a sub-group and decide what to do and how to execute it. I know, it needs field work voulenteers and lot of effort to take care of trees. The idea of mine is , growing small plants at home , it is possible to grow them in monsoon season , and distribute them to the neighbours or to our group members. ( together as group taking a small land ( 1 meter square is enough to grow many things), and grow useful plants and distribute them to the people on our group name.) As an individual , one can do fallowing things at home ( copied from the above website ).. 1) Plant trees in you apartment complex and in your locality on every inch of unused space. Take turns to care for them. They need air and sunlight that are supplied by nature and won't cost you anything. All that they will ever ask of you is soil, water and some care. Surely for what they do for you, you can give them as much. 2) Trees can be planted alongside pavements. The residents and shop-owners can take turns to water and maintain them regularly. They should be fenced in with simple wooden structures to prevent them from stray animals and cattle. 3) Citizen groups can adopt little traffic Islands (the triangular area in the middle of the road) and plant decorative trees and lush green grass there. 4) Rocks don't cost much, do they? With a little imagination and creativity little rock gardens can be created around these trees. 5) At home, the water used to wash or soak rice, dal and vegetables should be used to water the plants. It boosts their growth. 6) Do something different this year on a marriage anniversary or a birthday of a loved one. Make him or her plant a tree and take care of it. 7) Don't waste your money on gifting a bouquet for a birthday. Make a gift of a plant in a clay pot.Your loved one will remember you everytime he or she waters the plant. Suggestions are welcome. Best wishes Ramesh I want to write about some of things , which we I have one thing in my mind from many years. How to To take care of Trees and saving water .

I hope most of us are intersted in On 3/6/07, Prasanthi Uppalapati <prasanthi.uppalapat [EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: Hello Friends, We have created (virtually and literally) two subgroups. One is Education and the other is Health. So what next!! We need to plan our activities. It is better if we meet once and discuss and come to a conclusion. As most of our members denied FDP and we wish to continue with the interested members only. So all the volunteers who wish to work for FDP too (irrespective of whether they like it or not) also should discuss on the best approach we can take. How about meeting this Sunday at Public Gardens, 10 am to 12:30 pm as usual? -- Thank you. with regards, PRASANTHI. ---- When you want something, the whole universe conspires in helping you to achieve it. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Don't get soaked.
