tree planting drive

When Meenakshi C was made the Conservator of Forests in Kerala's Central Region, her aim was to eliminate the age-old use of polythene bags to raise seedlings.

Now this is called taking matters into your own hands. Ludhiana was tagged as "the most polluted city in the country". To get rid of this tag, the residents of the city started a tree plantation drive, managing to plant around 1.5 lakh saplings within an hour! The interesting thing is - they might get their name in the Guinness book of World Records for this. Know more about the initiative and how they did it.
