The Sapling Project - Chennai Chapter

The Sapling Project is a good intiative by two innovative people Satish(@bombaylives) & Ranjeet(@ranjeet_walunj). The goal of this intiative is to make planting & growing trees a habit among people, by giving away free saplings to individuals living in colonies and apartments, asking them to plant, nurture and also monitor the health and progress of the sapling for atleast two years.

Isn’t that great?

Why should we do this?

We all complain about the heat, rapidly changing climate and also the natural calamities like Tsunami, earthquake and so on.. Have you ever thought on, what is happening to our planet “Earth”? Why are we sufferring these disasters? The answer to all these questions is “Ecological unbalance”, a weakening in the Earth’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere means that global warming is happening faster than we thought. Its all due to the lack of Trees and Plants(to absorb the carbon dioxide).People cut down many trees to build house, business etc.. but they forget to plant the trees again.

We’ve learnt and talked more about “The Global Warming” for more than a decade, but what have we done so far to save our Planet? i heard you say ‘nothing’. So People, its high time we stop complaining and start acting. Come on Lets work for a cause

To Breathe Easy, Lets Plant more Trees

So What should i do now?
