He says, “Nature is not just a beautiful backdrop to click a selfie, a resource, a tool, an Instagrammable picture. Organisations like Grow-Trees.com help us to understand and respect ecosystems and I hope, millions more get drawn to a massive mass afforestation movement and plant trees not just during Daan Utsav but even afterwards. If even half of 1,392,700,000 Indians planted trees, imagine the green impact it would make. If you don’t have land of your own where you can plant a tree, get in touch with Grow-Trees.com. Donate a tree instead of gifting bouquets on special occasions. Oxygen and water are not free and rains do not come automatically. They are results of healthy ecosystems. Nature is a living, breathing system that sustains us and we must do what we can to make it healthier.”Tripathi was also impressed with the work Grow-Trees.com has done over the past decade to plant millions of trees across cities, tribal lands and animal habitats to increase biodiversity, sequester carbon and replenish ecosystems.
