Painting the town GREEN!!!
PharmARC's green thumb was put to test with the tree planting drive to plant 100 trees in Bangalore city. The 'Rajanet Yegneshwaran Trust, Trees-for-free' facilitated the drive. The Director and founder of the trust, Janet Yegneshwaran who has been leading the movement since 2005 led the entire event.
PharmARCians-turned-environmentalists planted the saplings at White City on Old Madras Road, Bangalore. The members of the residential colony beside the layout have taken on the task of regular weeding, pruning, and watering besides insect control so that the saplings can grow into robust trees. Neem, Sangwan and other Indian tree species were planted.
The tree planting exercise was an enriching experience, knowing that in a few years time, there will be shade and cover, more greenery, and cleaner air for us all.
Truly, no initiative is too small to make a difference.
