Say Earth actively engages in clean-up initiatives, targeting the removal of non-biodegradable and inorganic waste, such as plastic, rubber, cloth, thermocole, and e-waste. It meticulously segregates and processes organic and inorganic waste into valuable manure and recycles materials appropriately. To prevent waste disposal into water bodies, it strategically installs dustbins in local communities and along pathways. Volunteers receive comprehensive briefings and participate in cleaning activities, including cleaning bunds, shores, and ground areas. Say Earth's efforts contribute to a cleaner environment and responsible waste management practices.

Say Earth is actively involved in the rejuvenation of water bodies, including cleaning, earth excavation, desilting, and bund formation. It tackles non-biodegradable and inorganic waste removal, such as plastic and rubber, while also addressing sludge and silt removal to enhance water flow and reduce odour. These tasks are carried out through manual and/or mechanized processes. Its efforts extend to excavation and desilting from water bodies, further improving water flow dynamics. The formation of bunds plays a crucial role in strengthening and stabilizing streamflow, contributing to the overall restoration of these essential natural resources.

Say Earth implements eco-friendly and cost-effective methods to manage water quality and combat pollution in water bodies. Recognizing the slow pace of natural self-cleansing, the organisation employs sustainable technology-based solutions like constructed wetlands (CWs) and Floating Islands (FIs). CWs facilitate efficient water treatment through processes involving microbial degradation, plant uptake, absorption, sedimentation, and filtration. They are easy to maintain and effective for urban sewage treatment. FIs, on the other hand, utilize artificial floating platforms filled with aquatic plants to purify water by absorbing chemical contaminants. These methods play a crucial role in preventing household wastewater from polluting water bodies, contributing to improved water quality and odour control.

Say Earth actively promotes rainwater harvesting, a process of capturing and storing rainwater where it naturally falls. This involves straightforward methods like recharge pits to collect rainwater from various catchment areas such as roofs, pavements, roads, parks, and open land. The harvested rainwater is stored either in tanks for immediate use or directed into underground aquifers, whether natural or man-made, to recharge groundwater. This sustainable approach ensures that rainwater can be effectively harnessed and utilized for drinking and cooking purposes.

Say Earth conducts "Jal Chaupal," a platform for discussing vital water conservation and waterbody rejuvenation topics. Through Jal Chaupal, it engages communities in conversations about issues like Ground Water Extraction, Water Pollution, Rainwater Harvesting, and Water Budgeting. This initiative not only raises awareness but also fosters an emotional connection between villagers and water bodies, emphasizing the significance of lakes and ponds. Water budgeting is a crucial aspect, enabling villages and cities to estimate their available water from various sources and plan its usage effectively. Jal Chaupal plays a pivotal role in educating villagers about water conservation and promoting responsible water use by aligning their needs with available water resources.
