Mo ko kahan dhoondhe re bande, main to tere paas mae
Na main mandir, na main masjid, na kaab-e-kailash me!!!
by Kabir Das

Arthat: 'Mo' can be God or it can even be the awareness and the energy
of enlightenment inside you. Not really in the above context mam, but
what I wanted to say is, we should try to look inside ourselves first.
We can plant trees and saplings but its of no use unless we understand
why we are doing it. I feel there is no harm in sharing ideas inside
the doors. Even I have seen people going out for tree plantation, in
plastic bags and even sometimes they put the plastic bags along with
the tree saplings :)). I dont think hugging the trees help trees
either :P.... The best way to help trees may sound unethical to all,
but yes,. the best way is to relieve near the tree roots :P

There is a very interesting procedure here at our garden. Our farm has
its own funding for all its (around 250+) staffs, facilities and all
the projects running here. But there are processes to acquire the
funding. I just wanted to share one interesting part. When we are
travelling outside HK (using flight) then we need to apply on a
formatted application form. It takes not more than 1 day to get
approval. There is a very interesting clause on the application form.
It says (dont remember the exact word but still) "you are travelling
by plane and so becoming a part of releasing harmful gases in upper
atmosphere. hence you should be planting ................. number of
trees/saplings in next one year from the date of your outward
journey". This "fill in the blanks" is filled by the HR department
before approving depending on the distance and time of your flight. I
personally never have heard this kind of thing happening anywhere else
in the world. And I AM LOVING IT :)!!! I think this should be applied
to all the people in India in government offices.

Have a nice day!!!!
