Sapgreen is NEW

13 November 2008 | Sapgreen Sapgreen Activities

After 7 months of action, we had learnt a great deal of things. How people value trees and how a few detest them!! How important trees are yet how less importance it gets!! How varied are trees from each other and how monoculture is being promoted by the country!! The learnings are all like this. Khatta Meetha. However, the one big feeling we got was that the operations model we followed just couldn’t scale up. Our main motive when we started Sapgreen.com was to plant trees. A lot of them. However, the operations model we followed just didn’t permit that. So, we thought of a new plan.

During our past 7 months of operation, many people had expressed their intention to contribute/get involved in some way. However, we just couldn’t figure out how to allow them do that. In fact, we haven’t figured it out even now. As a result, the following idea. The idea is called open business.

  • Sapgreen will be an open platform for everyone to discuss about the environment.
  • Just register with us and you will be able to start a new article / write a blog.
  • There will be a core group who will act as moderators and facilitators. This is only for taking care of offline issues such as tree-planting, finances, website administration etc.
  • The most happening environmental news and blogs will be published/linked here.

That’s all we have thought of at the moment. More inputs from you will be really helpful.

We hope to release all the features we’ve mentioned above by the end of this week.

    I have always loved the work you people are doing, sounds awesome! ;-) Keep going!! I’m a biochemistry student who is interested in the enviornment so i think i could contribute some articles once in a while…about trees specifically and enviornment in general! It would be interesting if more people contribute articles, like FORT mysore blog is doing. Keep up the good work!! (BTW, how do i register?)

    Hi Ashwin!

    It is an inspiring idea. I have no words to congratulate your bold moves.

    I want to see how I can collaborate in SAPGREEN Project and add value to the same.

    I can start committing Rs. 1000/- from my side.

    Warm Regards,

    Its a great initiative and the need of the hour. But I guess there should be mre programs taken off the website to get people know about this. This should be publicised more so that we get more people coming up to plant trees. If you have plans for such programs, please post on the site. We can have few people volunteer in any way we can.

    REGARDS,
    SHUBHA
