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.

Good one Sonia! So nice to see all those trees that had great roles in our childhood. And the mango tree is intelligent - I think it could do some mindreading..The post reminded me of my grandma's place. The new colour looks cool...And thanks dear...
