The young students of Mangalsiddha have vowed to make their village a green village. By saving their lunch money and with the help of other people they are voluntarily buying and planting trees of different local varieties in front of everyone’s house. They are choosing the fruit, herbal and wild trees which are scarce in their area.
The climate is changing very fast. To cure this change in climate world famous and local government and nongovernment environmental organizations and the sister organizations of the UN has taken lots of initiatives worldwide. The government of Bangladesh is also conscious on this environmental issue. The Government of Bangladesh is working on to increase adaptability and the capability of the local people area wise in order to adapt with the change as well as to slow down the process of climate change.
By saving their own lunch money to plant trees this young people would not make a radical difference. But they made a little change in order to reach the people of various range to make a consciousness among them about the necessity of trees and why we should plant them. They were able to reach the information that it’s important to keep a variety of different kinds of trees when planting trees. And their thoughts and initiatives spread through the 350 students of Mangalsiddha S.M. High School.
