It’s indeed getting tougher & tougher to survive on this planet with each passing day because of global warming & pollution which basically are two major threats for Earth and its Inhabitants. And without a doubt, it is deforestation, the root for major threats.
Talking about it, Kajal said, “I read a line somewhere that a single human accounts to seven trees on earth and by taking part in this initiative, we are going to repay back that debt. We owe the earth something and I am very proud of my sister that she has started something like this.”
“I read this line that ‘if trees had WiFi then everybody would be planting them’ and you will be surprised to know that if we plant more trees, we can reverse climate change. So I would like to besiege people to please plant trees either in your vicinity or outside so that we can create a clean tomorrow,” added the actress.
