Zone wise : Volunteer registered vs Garbage level
Based on the surveys done by our lead volunteers across all the 16 zones in Chennai we have put together a high level estimate on the number of volunteers
needed against the garbage level. Below chart shows a high level pictorial representation of the same.
Blue : Current vounteer registered and allocated. Brown : Shortage of volunteer

Wall Painting
Nothing speaks loud and clear like a picture does. A painting on the other hand could speak even more louder and beautiful. Our CTC wall paint artisans have started cleaning and painting the walls of Chennai with their beautiful artwork which also spreads the message about Plastics overusage and Garbage Overload. Above image is a capture of one such painting done by our CTCian Karmuhilan Chellakkannu and Saravanan. You can witness this wonderful artwork if you pass by Anna University.
