Clean air and water for Noida: restoring Union Beach
A neighborhood-led restoration of Union Beach needs $250 for saplings and equipment.
🇮🇳 Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India371 views
Union Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This November, 62 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 139 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the district council, including native species selected by a local botanist.
The area floods more each year, and fish have returned for the first time in a decade after our first cleanup. Restoring it will protect homes and bring back shade.
All the labor is volunteered. We just need materials.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $250 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $30
• Tools and protective gear: $95
• Native saplings and stakes: $125
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
