About

The mindless exploitation of natural resources by mankind has imperiled the existence of the planet itself. Rising pollution, mounting filth, dirty rivers, a restless ocean and melting glaciers, all these are just due to human insensitivity and thoughtlessness. An obsession with industrial progress has caused man to lose sight of the tenuous ecological balance. The consequences of mindless deforestation are clear now. Today, the earth hangs by a thread. Tree plantation and the use of alternative sources of energy are some of the many measures that one can take to reduce the effects of climate change.  Tree plantation is a harbinger of prosperity. Trees eliminate the pollution and are beneficial for the health, too. Trees are central to human culture and environment in our universe. There is only one way left to come out of the dangers and challenges to the environment on earth and that is the maximum plantation of trees. Hence, Brahma Kumaris has taken up this plantation drive.

This campaign plans to enable people to become aware of the environmental issues that plague the earth. Also, as a spiritual organisation our main aim is to help people to experience greater well-being through inner peace and universal values. The Brahma Kumaris will conduct programmes to explore the connection between the consciousness of the individual and the collective effect on the state of the planet. Our consciousness determines the values by which we live. Our values form the basis of our actions which in turn determine whether or not they contribute to the protection and sustainability of the environment. In addition, the campaign aims to plant at least 2,00,000 saplings of diverse varieties with contribution from people in schools and colleges, community groups, businesses and governments. The aim is to get people to participate in educating their neighbours about benefits of having a clean and green surrounding.
