In a powerful push for environmental responsibility, Smiling Tree, a prominent green initiative devoted to climate action and ecological awareness, has launched its new campaign — ‘Reuse & Recycle’. Targeting communities across Delhi-NCR, the campaign encourages people to embrace mindful consumption, reduce waste, and adopt eco-friendly lifestyles.
The initiative was unveiled by Dr. Mukesh Kwatra, Founder of Smiling Tree, who shared his thoughts at the launch event. “Our planet is drowning in waste. It's time we realize that sustainability begins at home. Through this campaign, we aim to inspire individuals and institutions to adopt the 3Rs — Reduce, Reuse, Recycle — in their everyday lives. A small change in our habits can lead to a big impact on the environment,” he said.
The ‘Reuse & Recycle’ campaign will feature a range of activities including community outreach programs, school visits, eco-workshops, and awareness drives. The goal is to educate people about repurposing old materials, segregating waste properly, and cutting down on plastic use. Smiling Tree’s team of dedicated volunteers and green ambassadors will spearhead these efforts, working closely with local residents, students, and civic authorities.
To make recycling simpler and more effective, special collection points for recyclable materials are being established across various neighborhoods. By making it convenient, Smiling Tree hopes to nurture a long-lasting culture of sustainability.
The initiative has already garnered strong support from educational institutions, RWAs (Resident Welfare Associations), and corporate partners, all joining hands to build a greener future. With these collective efforts, Smiling Tree aims to show that small, consistent changes can lead to significant positive impacts on the environment.
