  Hello I am Priyanka.. I am one of the participants of Gully lab and I am excited to tell about our new activity under Gully lab project. Our new activity is drawing and painting.

Growing together with plants Hello all, I am Mahin! While living in an era of technology and continuous development, I and my friends from Janta Vasahat community decided to explore new things with our education. We are group of 10 girls decided to work on issues of global warming, solid waste management, and unhygienic surroundings. Initially we took a round of our surroundings and noted a few things like unsorted garbage, lack of cleanliness, lack of plants and poor waste management system. And then we decided to bring change in our surrounding. We needed guidance and for that we visited one organic farm, “ The Urban Farm ” there we saw various plants, herbs, vegetables, flowers planted in very small area with the help of modern farming techniques including organic composting. We learned process and importance of organic composting and how it is helpful for solid waste management.I and my friends were amazed to know how wet garbage generated in home is useful for the com...
