Garden City, Singapore?

The document discusses Singapore's efforts to become a "Garden City" through government and citizen initiatives. The government launched the Garden City project in 1967, planting trees, shrubs, and developing parks and gardens. Citizens have also contributed through community gardens like the Garden of Unity, where elderly volunteers grow vegetables donated to an old folks' home. However, surveys found people feel Singapore lacks colorful plants and garden areas are concentrated in tourist and city areas rather than neighborhoods. The conclusion is that both the government and citizens can do more to improve garden coverage and variety of plants to truly create a Garden City environment.

This document summarizes a community project called "Getting into the Green Scene" that aims to implement a Clean and Green Program. The project involves cleaning and cultivating vacant land areas in the community to start a vegetable garden. A meeting was held where 20 people agreed to help plant seeds that were obtained from the Local Government Unit. They have started maintaining the garden and hope it will provide a financial benefit to support keeping the community clean through initiatives like trash cans. They also plan to start another garden to gain more benefits for the community.

The children of GPS Mallepally No. 2 school in Hyderabad designed a project to increase tree plantation in their community. They collected plants and discussed the importance of reducing carbon emissions and increasing oxygen with community members. The children then led a rally promoting plantation and community members pledged to plant more trees.

Community Service
Community service, especially environmental projects, is an activity I enjoy that contributes to personal and professional development. Last year, I proposed a tree planting project in underserved neighborhoods to raise awareness of pollution and each person's role in reducing it. Citizens planted palm trees as symbols of returning paper and carbon dioxide consumed back to the planet. This activity aligns with my university's social entrepreneurship focus and will help me lead sustainable development projects with a wider, more critical vision in both my career and personal life.

Celebrating an eco friendly ganesh festival
The document discusses Ganesh Chaturthi, the Hindu festival celebrating the god Ganesh. It provides information on the traditional practices of creating clay idols, immersing them in water bodies, and the environmental impacts of this. It notes that modern idols are often made of chemicals like plaster of paris that can pollute water. It recommends more eco-friendly alternatives like natural materials and localized immersion. The document advocates celebrating the festival in a way that reduces noise, air, and water pollution to protect the environment and people's health.

The festival of Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated for 10 days, beginning on the fourth day of the waxing moon period between August and September. On the final day, Anant Chaturdashi, the idol of Lord Ganesha is immersed in a nearby river or water body. This cycle symbolizes the natural cycle of creation and dissolution. In recent times, the use of plaster of Paris idols has increased pollution in water bodies. However, organizations like CONMAT in Vadodara are working on solutions like artificial immersion tubs and segmenting portions of rivers to reduce environmental impacts while balancing culture and traditions.

The students organized a food court to raise money to buy saplings and plant trees in their school campus and neighborhood. They planted 36 saplings and identified volunteers to take care of each sapling as a "tree-buddy". The tree-buddies are responsible for ensuring their assigned sapling grows well. Their goal is to expand this project to plant more trees in their neighborhood and donate saplings to other schools and organizations. They believe this effort will help beautify their community and bring people together around environmental protection.

Garden power point
The Sixth and B Garden is a community garden located in New York City that has 80 plots for its 80 members. It was created in the late 1970s/early 1980s after abandoned buildings were demolished, leaving empty lots. Community members transformed one of the lots into a garden that now hosts various events. The garden faces challenges with lack of funding limiting events and lack of member participation making it difficult to keep the garden open for the public.
