KARACHI:
As our community grapples with the consequences of climate change, it becomes imperative for us to take proactive steps to mitigate its impact. Planting trees is a simple yet effective way to contribute to the wellbeing of our planet. Trees play crucial role in absorbing carbon dioxide, purifying the air and providing a habitat for diverse flora and fauna. Unfortunately, deforestation and urbanisation have led to a decline in green cover, accentuating environmental challenges.
I urge our community and local authorities to organise and participate in more tree plantation campaigns. These not only contribute to environmental conservation but also foster a sense of community engagement. Let us come together to create a sustainable and greener future. By planting trees today, we invest in the wellbeing of our community and leave a positive legacy for future generations.
