Save the Earth: 1Click-1Tree

Zaninites! How's it going? It's been a while and it'd be the understatement of 2009 to say that this group has been quieter than we hoped it would be. At the same time, it'd be a sham to say we're not the ones to blame for it! :P However, today is not the day to say all those things- It's the last day of 2009 baby! Now, I'm sure all of you have some awesome plans made and some huge fun is to be had later in the evening for every one. Therefore, I'd keep this short and before I wish every one a happy new year I'd like to introduce an interesting and worthwhile activity to all here-

This is in wake of the impending doomsday that theory makers would have you believe is coming fast and with Copenhagen being reduced to a big joke, I guess we all know that Earth is gonna melt down and dissolve in its own seas sooner or later (maybe not in our lifetimes, but would you like your children to die like that?)... Unless, we do something about it. And that's what this is: the 1Click-1Tree initiative started by 141 Sercon; an events and advertising company in New Delhi which plans to plant 5,000 saplings of different species of trees in the country in 2010 and they want the people of India to choose and own those trees. No money involved- all you gotta do is tell them which tree to plant and they'll do it for you. Heck, they'd even send you a picture and location of the sapling. What they want in return from you? Well, they'd like that once you know where the sap is, you check in on it once in a while and in general, do what to can to make sure that your sapling becomes a tree and the purpose of this initiative is met- That's all.

So, for now all we gotta do is go to the 1Click-1Tree website here and a) Choose what tree you want & b) Enter you name and e-mail id so they can send you pictures and location of it once they do it. I've already chosen my tree (a Neem tree) and have even blogged about this initiative on my personal blog in detail so those seeking more in depth look can check it here. Needless to say, I'd like you all to choose a tree and ask the 1Click-1Tree team to plant it for you.

That was that guys, just wanted a bunch of environmentally aware people to know that there are organizations doing their bit in saving our fast depelting planet and WE can make a difference by a click of the mouse.

You'd probably see me talking more about this and other similar environmental issues in times to come but for now, I'm outta here man! I've got some moves to bust and some joy to bring! Hope you do the same- have a great evening and a wonderful new year, my friends... And be safe! :)
