Everyone bought saplings with their own money and took a pledge to take care of them till all become full-grown trees. Not only this, they challenge their friends to plant saplings by launching a campaign through Facebook. Kumar said that there is a great need to plant trees to prevent the devastation of tomorrow. “Now there is no time left to think. That’s why we have been doing this campaign continuously,” he said and expressed confidence that this campaign will make our city green again.
