In the rapid rat race for development we have forgotten that it is our duty to give back to the nature twice as much as we take. A single tree suffices so many of our needs but how many of us realize that one fine day when this resource of trees finish their self less service to us, we will be left empty handed staring into a blank future. Especially in a city like Mumbai where development is the middle name of infrastructure, it is very important for people to realize the alarming rate at which the green cover is disappearing.
Team Umang strive towards raising the awareness level amongst people. We conduct various drives where our volunteers not only work to educate the people but also make them realize the value of this step by indulging in tree plantation campaigns. Just a little while ago Umang Foundation took up this challenge and though in a small way did initiate the process.
Team Umang went to Matoshri Ramabai Ambedkar School, Ulhasnagar and involved the students there in a massive tree plantation campaign where we planted about fifty saplings. The idea of involving the students was to ensure that they develop a personal connect and hence look after the trees on their campus, this would also allow the children who are the future to realize the importance of trees.
Progress is very much needed for the evolution of mankind but what we need to look into is the pace of this progress. Being fast is indeed a necessity to keep yourself abreast with changing times but fighting a major issue like Global Warming by taking small steps like planting trees and raising awareness is also equally important.
Team Umang urge you to realize the importance of the tree plantation and support the cause by taking small initiatives like these so that you could give your children a better future.
