11. Starting a group which focuses on conservation of natural resources
12. Make sure lights and fans use when it is required.All these point we discussed to spread as an initial and started to do from our home itself. As it is said “Charity begins at home.” Now we had to decide where we will do this we and decided to choose not only our society but the whole locality, we had around 100 shops nearby we thought we will spread this word first to them and then to others. Also ‘Shreya’ and ‘Rizvan’ came up with a nice thought we will give a token or a pluck card to be put beside Switch Boards which tells to switch off the light when not in use. This was a terrific idea and it was completely accepted by whole group. Then ‘Asma’ and ‘Ali’ were given the task of designing it and they did a wonderful job. The card which they designed is enclosed. <br /> In our next meeting we thought we are ready with the project but then n how are we going to take it forward as we thought that this is not the only project we are working on there a lot to come. Then we decided let us give a name to our group which will remain throughout. There were many names which we came up with as “ECO-TEENS “,“Intelligent Einstein’s” and “Change Makers.” Then finally we came to a consensus and gave a new form to our club. Now we were called ECOTEENS – Change Makers. <br />Slowly but steadily we were moving towards our D-Day which was very important and had to chalk down the action plan as to how are we going to execute it. This is when we realized that the job would be half done when we would be done with the action plan. Plan was then chalked down point by point and there were so many discussions as to how it would be carried out. Finally after pointing out some points we decided that we would go and interview people, ask for the problems we would be facing and making them aware about the facts and figures how to save electricity.<br /> Then we divided ourselves into four groups, each of which were going in different directions so that we can cover more area and make people aware about the project we are working on and how it can be helpful to them if not now may be in future. <br /> As we were looking out for the possibilities where can we save electricity ‘Asna’ ,’Zainil’ and ‘Rahil’ came across a situation where in there was good sunlight but still the street lights were ON which were not required and that put a sense of purpose in us that we are doing a very good job by making people aware and educating them to conserve electricity.<br /> Then arrived the D-day when we actually went out on a survey cum campaign regarding saving our environment with a starting little step of saving electricity. <br /> We got mixed responses regarding what we reviewed after the campaign was done. By far it is one of the best feelings some said and some were very proud of the work we were doing and making a difference not only in our society but also outside it. There were many incidents such as couple of shop keepers who were impressed with us and switched OFF their lights because they were not required but there were some people who really didn’t care about it. We thought to move on and as this is a small step we took in changing our environment and would like to cater people who are supportive of the cause.<br />Also preparing video why we need to save electricity and will soon be published on Face book and other social networking sites so that we can target more people and spread this word.<br />Planning to send the mailers to our fiend and would circulate as a chain.<br />This is just a starting we need to work more on this and we would surely do that because we are ECOTEENS-Change Makers.<br />
![In the 1st meeting the concept of DFC was shown to us and we also saw some inspirational videos. were there was a small kid who was trying to help the people held at the traffic jam due to a big log, in spite being small he still tries to move that log to clear the traffic and seeing that other children follows and then others help which ultimately overcome the problem. This opened our eyes and made us think that we to can add certain value to society. We planned to do contribute something for the society but the question that came across was what ,how, when many questions came up. Then ‘Inaara’(Our Project Lead) told that we will divide into 4 groups and present our ideas and whose ever is the best we will implement that. The ideas which we came through are as follows.<br />,[object Object]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/dfc-111017072001-phpapp02/85/Dfc-1-320.jpg)
