A few inspired come together to act and made a difference to the City of Chennai on Augsut 1st, 2010. The inspired junta of YES!+ planted sapling at GKM college of Engineering. 30 saplings of Neem and Punga were planted in just 1 hour! Not just plantation, the saplings will be taken care for the next one year!
The plantations were done under the aegis of Mission Green Earth project initiated by Art of Living organization. The aim is plant 10 million saplings across the globe. The Tamil Nadu team aims to plant 10 lakh saplings by the end of December, 2010 and this was one of the smaller steps of a giant leap towards protection of the environment.
Many of them planted the saplings for the first time which made the event memorable for every individual. The holes were dug a day prior to the day of plantation by a few super inspired YES!+ volunteers. It was an eye opener for Amit who dug such holes for the first time. He now wonders how the daily wage workers work so hard each day….It took 6 people 6 hours of hard work to dug the 30 holes…To their amazement, their enthusiasm circumvented the exhaustion and there was great sense of satisfaction on each ones face!
On the day of plantation, Arunachalam uncle, the head gardener of GKM College honored us by planting the first sapling. He instructed the right method to plant the sapling. This was followed by an organized planting by the youths of YES!+ team and college students. 7 groups of 5 people each were made and each group planted 6 to 7 saplings in a period of little over one hour!
It was one of such events where each one had a lot of fun and a lot of learning’s to take back home! Trees are need and answer for combating the man made pollution. If each one takes responsibility to plant and take care one tree, the earth shall have 6 billion more trees on this planet! The onus lies on Us. Hope this small step inspires many youths to come together for more plantations!
So don’t just wait & watch…come and be a part! Stay connected for the Next Plantation in the city of Chennai !
