On World Environment Day, observed every year on June 5th, a significant movement was set into motion by the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi. The campaign, titled #एक_पेड़_माँ_के_नाम #Plant4Mother, was inaugurated with the planting of a Peepal tree sapling in New Delhi. This initiative is not just another environmental effort; it's a heartfelt call to people across the world to plant a tree in honor of their mothers and to make a lasting commitment to the protection of our planet.
The #Plant4Mother campaign envisions the ambitious goal of planting 800 million trees by September 2024 and a staggering 1.4 billion trees by March 2025. This initiative is driven by a profound respect for motherhood and the natural world, urging individuals to plant trees as a symbol of love, respect, and honor for their mothers. The campaign also serves as a reminder of our collective responsibility to safeguard the environment for future generations.
Participation in the #Plant4Mother campaign is simple and impactful:
Plant a Tree: Choose a tree that is significant to your region or holds personal meaning, and plant it in a location where it can thrive.
Honor Your Mother: Dedicate your tree planting to your mother, symbolizing the nurturing and life-giving qualities that both mothers and trees represent.
Share Your Experience: After planting your tree, take a picture and share it on social media platforms using the hashtags #Plant4Mother and #एक_पेड़_माँ_के_नाम. This will help spread the message and encourage others to join the movement.
Pledge to Protect: Along with planting a tree, take a pledge to protect and care for trees and Mother Earth, ensuring that the campaign's impact extends far beyond the initial act of planting.
The Embassy of India in Monrovia has extended an appeal to all communities in Liberia to join this global movement. By participating, communities not only contribute to a greener planet but also strengthen their bonds with India in a shared commitment to environmental stewardship.
