The Union Human Resource and Development (HRD) Minister, Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank launched a new campaign ‘one student, one tree on the occasion of World Environment Day.

One Tree Pledge is a commitment to help offset the carbon emissions of the homes or buildings we occupy. Home dwellers pledge to plant one tree for every square foot of their home or apartment. Builders/Construction Companies pledge to plant one tree for every square foot of new structures bu ilt. The trees planted will sequester carbon, helping to mitigate the carbon emitted from buildings.

While we are building for the future, we must take care of our earth now. From extreme heatwaves to glaciers melting and species dying, the effects of climate change fueled by greenhouse gas emissions are felt in every corner of our planet.

EVERYONE SHOULD PLANT AT LEAST ONE TREE IN THEIR LIFE!
