‘ONE TREE BY ONE PERSON’ ATTRACTING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE

US Moinuddin's One Tree by One Person Attracting Thousands of People

            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, factory workers and 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.
