All About Trees

World Environment Day was celebrated on 5th June. Many, especially school kids, enthusiastically came forward to create awareness about preserving forests and protecting trees. Good to see that a large majority does not consider sustainable development as trivial.  

These are links to a blog in which a school realized the importance of the single tree in the premises and took steps to preserve it.
