An initiative focussing on making a difference at aground level on reviving the degrading eco-system and reducing the effects of air pollution. We were aiming to ensure the people and community participation towards making India a greener country. The campaign had offline activation, by creating areas of dense forest and multi-layered canopy’s which acted as carbon sinks for the city. This in turn, helped control pollution locally and improving overall quality of life. We planted dozens of native species to retain biodiversity, and helped the plantation become maintenance-free after the first 3 years.
