Poem about UTSAV by our volunteer
CMCA UTSAV 2010Was a pleasant morning and for once it was cool,
As walked in students school by school,
Stalls readied ...banners were up,
PPPs were practiced and games set up.
Festivities began, bang on time,
Food too was devoured line by line,
Charts read and lessons learnt.
Making it worthwhile for the mid night oil burnt,
In learning and fun the students engaged
Skits and songs and antakshari wars they waged,
Colorful stalls, green, yellow, orange and blue,
There was something for each child to do...
As the day wore on and the garbage piled in the bins...
Was warmed surrounded by so many active citizens
Innovative, educational..... fun galore,
Went home feeling satiated....couldn’t ask for more.

A eye opening article by one of our student
Hi all,
I just wanted to share a wonderful experience that I had with a few kids from a group called ‘Apun Ka Club’. It was a great experience. We played games together and had loads of fun. (I went along with many other friends of mine) After all the fun stuff, I heard a very shocking news. Those children (living at simla nagar) got water only for 1 hour throughout the day!! Just 1 hour in 24 hours! Now many of you all might just delete this e-mail or not read any further and mark this e-mail as junk thinking that it might be another lecture about saving water and all. But I request you to read further and see how these people struggle for water. It doesn’t make a difference to us who get water for 24 hours. But imagine them-they get water only for 1 hour throughout the day!! ….. And that’s not all…
This is their situation:
Approximately 7-8 families are expected to get water from ONE tap. Yes, that’s right. Each family has about 4-5 members. So at an average, 40 people are expected to get water form ONE tap.
Every evening one or two members of the family go to the tap at about 5:00 p.m. to collect water for the next 24 hours. After collecting this water they can collect water only the next day at the same time.
However, nowadays the water comes very irregularly. Sometimes at 7:00, sometimes at 7:30 or even at 8:00 p.m.
One of them even told me that on that Sunday, the water did not arrive till 11:30 in the night. Many of them did not even eat their food thinking that if, while they are eating, the water suddenly came, they might not get a chance to collect their share of water for the next 24 hours!
We asked them a question:
If you were standing in line, and by the time you reach the tap or even before that, the water stops coming, what do you do?
Their answer was:
We go to some other tap and fill our water. And if the water has stopped coming there also, we ask our neighbors to lend us a little water so that we can survive. And yes, they very willingly give us.
What an experience!
When we were packing up, a small girl Ganga from ‘Apun Ka Club’ came to Shitalaunty (our Art teacher who has also initiated this 'Apun Ka Club' where she works with these children every Saturday at Shantivan garden) and silently told her, “Didi, paani hi humara jeevan hai!”
So, the next time you are wasting water, just think about these people and see if you can anyhow save that water. And these aren’t the only people. There are many more that we don’t know of!
So this new year try and make a resolution to do something for our mother earth
Thank you.
SAVE WATER, SAVE THE EARTH.
I AM DOING MY BIT.
ARE YOU?

Poems from our young members
OUR WORLD
When this world was made,
it was so neat and clean.
Why must mankind have been so mean?
The ponds and rivers flow so free.
But clean again they will never see.
The sky and clouds were a sight to be seen,
Now it is a struggle to keep them clean.
Aditya Das
VIII C HFS, Powai
Smoke, smoke going up to the sky.
Vehicles on road, make us cry
Oh! Every where pollution, pollution,
Let us all hurry to find a solution.
Factories belch so much smoke,
That makes our throat choke
Oh! Everywhere is pollution, pollution,
Let us hasten to find a solution.
Not only metros, even villages suffer,
Alas! Only in degrees it differs!
All round is pollution, pollution,
Let us not delay to find a solution.
We had better grow many more trees,
Surely then pollution hazard will decrease.
Let us not cut any more trees,
We all will breath in peace.

NATURE CLEANLINESS
Please don’t be careless,
Have some civic awareness
Earth should be clean,
And very much green
Do not use plastic,
Then it would be fantastic
Lets start garbage seggregation
By dry & wet garbage seperation
Collecting garbage will keep earth clean,
And nature will be better like you have never seen
So let us gather
And do everything together.

Water, Why we should save it ??
Mumbai, a city that is known for newcomers, suffers from major water shortages. We use many litres of water without thinking if we really need it. The amount of water we use is enough to quench the thirst of upto7 people. Slums turn to taps, but the water is often contaminated. This leads to diseases like cholera, typhoid and Hepatitis A. Let us take a minute to think, where do we really get our water from?? If the answer to this is tanker water, you should know that you are living in an area which suffers from water shortages. The tankers get the water from sources like lakes and freshwater rivers. The people who depend on the water and lakes may not even get any water. Villages depend on ground water but it dries up and cannot be used. We need to be able to use water efficiently .to do so, we must have desalination plane to use the sea water effectively. SAVE WATER, DON”T WASTE IT.

Here is a beautiful speech for saving the environment and developing India!!!
Why do you think that India is so filthy??Ha...IS this because India is illiterate,yes maybe...why not??

And yes i think that we can transform INDIA....
This is why CMCA took birth in India.....
CMCA-Making A Difference.....
Here Are Some Points For Saving The Environment:
Clean or replace air filters on your air conditioning unit at least once a month.
If you have central air conditioning, do not close vents in unused rooms.
Lower the thermostat on your water heater to 120.
Wrap your water heater in an insulated blanket.
Turn down or shut off your water heater when you will be away for extended periods.
Turn off unneeded lights even when leaving a room for a short time.
Set your refrigerator temperature at 36 to 38 and your freezer at 0 to 5 .
When using an oven, minimize door opening while it is in use; it reduces oven temperature by 25 to 30 every time you open the door.
Clean the lint filter in your dryer after every load so that it uses less energy.
Unplug seldom used appliances.
Use a microwave when- ever you can instead of a conventional oven or stove.
Wash clothes with warm or cold water instead of hot.
Reverse your indoor ceiling fans for summer and winter operations as recommended.
Turn off lights, computers and other appliances when not in use.
Purchase appliances and office equipment with the Energy Star Label; old refridgerators, for example, use up to 50 more electricity than newer models.
Only use electric appliances when you need them.
Use compact fluorescent light bulbs to save money and energy.
Keep your thermostat at 68 in winter and 78 in summer.
Keep your thermostat higher in summer and lower in winter when you are away
Insulate your home as best as you can.
Install weather stripping around all doors and windows.
Shut off electrical equipment in the evening when you leave work.
Plant trees to shade your home.
Shade outside air conditioning units by trees or other means.
Replace old windows with energy efficient ones.
Use cold water instead of warm or hot water when possible.
Connect your outdoor lights to a timer.
Buy green electricity - electricity produced by low - or even zero-pollution facilities (NC Greenpower for North Carolina - www.ncgreenpower.org). In your home-reduce toxicity.

Diwali is a joyful festival. Everybody buys new clothes and bursts crackers to celebrate. That was me until I knew about pollution. Most people have been quite frank by saying that they have burst crackers but they have burst a considerably less amount. Sounds like you? Looks like you're on the way to becoming a tree-hugger. Lots of children know about pollution from fire crackers but sadly, few even try to make a difference. They justify themselves by saying "One person can't make a difference, only if many peopledo something there will be a change." But how do people start changing their habits? Change starts with one person, YOU. We, the members of CMCA hope that our Diwali rally educated people and that it has helped the environment in its own way. Now perhaps, I may sound like an environmentalist, but I'm not. I am just another citizen of India, trying to make a change. If I can try you can too. Give this idea a chance and you might surprise youself by helping the Earth.

Global warming, a sizzling hot major issue that is sending a chill down everyone’s spine. Today the Global warming is a major issue that is leading Mother Earth, closer and closer to destruction. Deforestation, depletion of the ozone layer, soil erosion and what not are the deadly effects of global warming. We must do something, so that this nightmare may be finished forever.
Ø We must plant more trees and encourage backyard and window gardening.
Ø We must minimize the use of CFCs like air conditioners and aerosol cans.
Ø We must walk short distances or use public transport. We must also encourage car pools.
And the most important , we must make others aware so that they too can take some measure.But most of the people, just don’t care. Ignorance is not the only answer. Take a step ahead so that our our future generations can follow our footsteps. Make a difference, and bad India, infact the whole world to a new direction, where problems like global warming can be handled with ease. Treat your environment like your own Kith and Kin, and trust me, Global warming will be like a long last topic in the boring books of history. Come fight with CMCA against this life threatening heat. Say no to GLOBAL WARMING.

Beach Clean up by SVKM School
THE BEACH CLEAN -UP
I was stunned to see the population at the beach for the clean-up.
The International Coastal Clean-Up (ICCU) had organized a clean - up drive after Ganesha chaturti.
There were thousands of helping hands not only children but also teenagers & parents who grabbed their masks, gloves & bin bags. We were all geared up for the tremendous effort we had put in. We made partners and, started MISSION CLEAN UP!! We collected tobacco packets and pouches of TIDE washing soap, plastic bags and toothpaste tubes these were the ones creating most nuisance. As always many news reporters had gathered on the spot and began interviews, professional photographers and journalists took information and pictures . After the tiring job and hard work all we longed was energy and something sweet ,here the good news arrives we have something to eat . I wonder where we got this energy to sing from. While returning to school in the bus I thought why do we worship lord's idol and then immerse them in the sea which come back to the shore as waste ,...... instead of harming the nature and it's laws why not use ECO-FRIENDLY idols ,
instead of immersing the idols in the sea why not in the artificial lakes which we've made . I strongly feel that the government should penalize people who don't follow rules and don't worship Eco - friendly idols and don't use the artificial lakes.
help me for the cause !!!

Poetry on Civic Awareness
NATURE CLEANLINESS
Please don’t be careless,
Have some civic awareness
Earth should be clean,
And very much green
Do not use plastic,
Then it would be fantastic
Lets start garbage seggregation
By dry & wet garbage seperation
Collecting garbage will keep earth clean,
And nature will be better like you have never seen
So let us gather
And do everything together.

Beach Clean up Activity by Navy Children School
We the cmca members set out to experience what we and other people have done to the precious water at Chowpatty.At 8:00 AM we left school in our school buses.We only used 2 buses so as to save fuel( a very good idea put up by Neerja ma'am).We reached Chowpatty with in 30 minutes.After that we were provided with rubber gloves,aprons and caps which we could take home.We were divided in to groups according to our sections and club names.Each club was given one sack to collect garbage.I first went close to the sand,I saw a bit of plastic and i pulled it ,it wouldnt come;it was like i was trying to pull a banyan trees root.Finally got a big plastic bag which is used to cover electronics.Then i thought i would have a look at the sea.I got a vomiting sensation the first time i picked it up from the the sea;I had a lump of black plastic which had something inside it(i did'nt look at it),something that looked like husk .This was the most disgusting thing i had ever seen i n my whole life & i felt guilty for no reason.All the garbage was taken in a BMC truck.But we did get to collect different shells .In the end my club "ECO WARRIORS"had collected a lot of garbage.Well i felt a little annoyed about how people were polluting our resources but on the whole i loved the clean up.
"Yesterday is past,
Tommorow is future,
Today is a gift that is why it is known as present."
Lets use this gift and stop polluting our natural resources cuz what ever we do today will effect us tommorow.

Civic Club Launch at Activity High School
THE ACTIVITY HIGH SCHOOL CIVIC CLUBS’ LAUNCH ON 4-8- 09
Today, the Activity High School had the formal launch of its two Civic Clubs- the Green Teens Civic Club ( VIII A ) and the Conserve Environment Civic Club.( VIII B )
The children of Classes V , VI , VII and VIII had assembled in the school auditorium. The launch commenced sharp at 8:30 a.m. with the children saying their morning prayer and the National Anthem.
Parth Govilkar of CECC compered the programme. Rubina Shreshta of GTCC , Mahiyar Cooper of CECC and Utsav Mayekar of GTCC spoke on CMCA , its activities and the possible ways of trying to achieve its goals.
Heema Doshi and team of CECC then came on stage with their skit on Global Warming. It was interesting to hear the probable causes and the hazards created by the global warming in the universe.
GTCC (Tanisha and team), then took the stage and enacted the skit “ Litterbugs”, an amusing one, which even showed a fortune-teller predicting that our city would indeed become the best and most beautiful city in the world , if the children continued with their efforts to clean up the city. This play went very well with the audience.
Ms Vinodini Lulla then came and addressed the children , urging them to become more conscious of their environment and get rid of their ‘chaltha hai’ attitude. She announced the CMCA Rolling Trophy for the cleanest classroom in the school , which received a great applause from the Principal and the staff alike.
This was followed by the pinning of the CMCA badges on the office bearers of the two Civic Clubs by the Principal. The Club members then took the CMCA oath. The programme ended with a Vote of thanks by Ayushi Shah of the CECC.
