Bangalore: One Tree by One Person, a revolutionary
movement to make India
greener was introduced by environmentalist US Moinuddin almost a decade ago.
The agenda of this movement is to encourage tree planting and educate the
masses about the role of trees in our ecosystem.
Everybody loves trees, but most of them do
not make an effort to plant them as they get engrossed in their day-to-day
activities. To make tree planting more realistic and easier, US Moinuddin began to promote the idea
of One Tree by One person, according to which a person is required to plant at
least one sapling during their lifetime and take care of it. If the population
of Bangalore is
85 lakhs and every resident takes an initiative of planting one sapling, then
the city will have 85 lakh trees in addition to the trees that already exist. If
every Indian takes an initiative of planting a sapling, then there would be 122
crore trees. This movement is attracting people of all age groups and thousands
of people across schools, colleges, offices, housewives have already taken a
pledge to plant trees and make our environment healthy and beautiful. US Moinuddin has been constantly meeting people
and encouraging them to support this campaign where one can witness a Greener India and a
Greener Earth. To create awareness about the cause US Moinuddin had directed a
drama that took place on trees during the 2011, world environment day.
One Tree by One
Person is also inspiring people in other countries. With this movement the
deserts can become green, the barren lands can become productive, the temperature
in the cities will decrease, the trees will attract rain replenishing the
decreasing water table. This is one campaign that will truly make the Earth a
greener place to live in.
