an introduction...

Save Nature is not just any group. Its an IDEA, a DREAM. A dream, that we can have plastic free green and clean environment. Started by a group of young enthusiastic people, it is right now based in Bangalore. In our modest means, we have started with most popular picnic spots and trekking routes (as most of us have been to these places and could see the garbage spread there). So right now, we are funded and supported on individual contribution. Here is some more information about the group (taken from the presentation made by the group members)

Our Aim:
  • To route plastic out from often visited picnic spots in and around Bangalore.
  • To find out ways to Dispose the plastic in eco-friendly way.
  • To create awareness about the idea of sensible usage of plastic.
  • Our slogan: Reduce Reuse Recycle (RRR)

  • Our Karmabhumi: To start with we have chosen two places around Bangalore - Muthyamadu (Anekal) and Mekedaatu. We plan to visit these locations every alternate weekend (mostly Saturday) and have a round of clean up.

    Our funds and accounts: Right now we are working on the principle of "spend and split". Each person is assigned a responsibility; finally cost is split between the members who went on the trip. All money is from personal contribution as of now, though a proper account of usage is maintained.

    You can look forward for a fun-filled satisfaction-rich experience with us. We have a yahoo group to keep the information about the activities. You can join it at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/savenature/ . Lots of good and relevant discussions take place on the group.
