"A" signed me up for the "Let's Clean Bengaluru", an event created by a Facebook group that inspires Bangaloreans to "Reclaim Bengaluru... It's Yours! Keep it clean". The day to clean was August 15th, 2009 and anyone and everyone can participate. You can clean the smelly clogged drain that your neighbors seemed to have successfully ignored for the past 3 months or your driveway or your neighborhood park. "A" chose Cubbon Park.
It started out with the four of us but "A" managed to convince three other friends, a group of kids and a few random men in the park to join us.
With a whole liter of homemade "lemonade", we managed to (happily) clean-up a good portion of the park in 4 hours.
According to the Facebook group "Here are the results: 4700 participants, 6000 bags of garbage, 5800 bags collected by BBMP, 200 bags failed to be collected by BBMP."
Our personal result: Approximately 40 participants, 11 extra-large garbage bags, and bags collected by BBMP: unknown.
