Plant trees for future generations
CM Yogi Adityanath said on Saturday that protecting the environment is a matter of faith for us. We have natural resources because our previous generations protected these resources. We should do the same for our future generations. He said that imbibing these ideas of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a target has been set to plant 35 crore saplings in the state under the ‘Tree Plantation Mass Campaign-2023’ starting today on the theme of ‘Plant trees-save trees’.
Everyone must plant a tree
He said that this goal is also a great ritual to increase our connection with the life-giving values of our Sanatan culture giving the message of symbiosis-coexistence. Therefore, while ensuring environmental protection and ecological balance, your participation in this divine work is extremely necessary. He said that therefore everyone is appealed to plant at least one plant today and make this public welfare campaign a success.
The Chief Minister said that Indian Manisha has given godlike respect to trees. It is said in the Vedas, ‘Rakshaye Prakriti Patum Loka’, which means protect nature for the sake of living beings only. Trees not only provide life-giving oxygen for our lives, but trees have a very important contribution in environmental balance. Accepting this importance, our forefathers planted trees and protected them. Today it is our turn. Come, let’s make ‘Tree Plantation Mahabhiyan-2023’ a success for environmental protection.
