Sand Grains Foundation, CFlo's CSR wing organized a mass tree plantation drive on November 4, 2022, as part of their efforts to extend the lifespan of natural resources by achieving Net Zero carbon emissions by 2030. The exercise was carried out in collaboration with Hari Mitti Foundation which aims to facilitate all-round urban and rural welfare under its wide umbrella of activities.
Established in 2021, Sand Grains Foundation has always fostered sensitivity towards our resources – natural and human. The Foundation is a not-for-profit organization that promotes environmental sustainability, self-reliance in the youth workforce, and equitable distribution of healthcare benefits among the poor and deprived. The plantation campaigns revolve around planting and nurturing trees there by aiding the development and use of renewable energy resources.
Speaking on the occasion, Sanjay Singh, Director of Sand Grains Foundation, said, “We believe that natural resources must be replenished organically and tree plantation is one of the most pertinent ways to offset carbon emissions, protect the environment and promote sustainable living. We are delighted to see everyone come together and join us on this noble cause.”
Around 450 saplings of different plants and shrubs were planted at NKDA Verge 6 in Kolkata’s New Town. The plantation included trees like Neem, Peepal, Sal, Banyan, Betel Nut, Amla and Palm.
Sand Grains Foundation is thoroughly committed to helping offset carbon emissions by planting and nurturing trees and promoting the use of renewable energy resources. Hari Mitti Foundation, with a vision to build eco-friendly urban plantations and reconnect with the soil, helped take this objective one step ahead.
We thank our team, collaborators, friends and well-wishers for the success of the event and hope to continue on our ambitious path with increased zeal and vigour.
