Why trees are our only ally in battle to save Mother Earth?
2020 is here are so is the climate crisis. It's not climate change anymore, it's not global warming anymore. It's the final hour before irreversible destruction. Alarm bells are ringing all over the world. Amazon fires, Australia blaze, torrential rains and floods in Madagascar, Spain are grave reminders that Mother Earth is screaming for help. In this alarming situation, trees are our only allies.
At a recently concluded World Economic Forum at Davos, world powers have announced the ambitious and much-needed 'Trillion Trees' programme. The 1t.org project aims to grow, restore and conserve 1 trillion trees around the world to sequester carbon from the air and to protect biodiversity.
Closer home, 'End Poverty' has also launched a beautiful 'plant a tree' initiative that is “Plant a Tree for Life( PTFL) in Tijara block of Alwar district of Rajasthan, India in 2009. END POVERTY is promoting horticulture farming under the brand name "Plant a Tree for Life" to improve the income of small farmers in a sustainable manner. Horticulture farming is the best solution towards sustainable farming as it consumes less water, gives more returns, needs less labour, improve the local environment and family nutrition. To promote sustainability and reduce water consumption in farming, EP is helping farmers to diversify from field crops to horticulture crops. End Poverty has distributed 40,305 fruit saplings to over 749 farmers in 70 villages. The fruit saplings include Guava, Lemon, Sweet lime, kinoo,pomegranate, Black Berry, papaya,JackFruit, Ziziphus (Ber).

We need trees more than ever. Do you know deforestation causes almost as
much greenhouse gas emissions as global road travel? We need to plant as many
trees as possible. The most important aspect is to sensitise people.
The only time a common man thinks about trees is when the air quality plunges to new low. A new UN Environment Programme (UNEP) report warns that unless global greenhouse gas emissions fall by 7.6 per cent each year between 2020 and 2030, the world will miss the opportunity to get on track towards the 1.5°C temperature goal of the Paris Agreement.
2020 is a critical year for climate action, with the UN climate change conference in Glasgow aiming to determine the future course of efforts to avert crisis, and countries expected to significantly step up their climate commitments.

This is just a tip of iceberg.
Every single leaf is an insurance of future of human race. It's time to ACT!
