I was wanting to write something special on my 50th blog and what better way than introducin a novel idea to my readers!!!

Few months ago I was walkin around Bangalore and I saw that we were losing the green cover thanks to all the construction and road widenin and I was thinkin, why don't I start an organization wherein I could encourage people to plant trees and restore the green cover to Bangalore. Then I went about sharin my ideas with few of my friends I saw that everyone was pretty receptive to the idea. Then I decided I would work on the same and prepare a business case, yeah thanks to my exposure to non profits. Well, the idea was conceptualized but never took off guess I had other priorities. But promised that I would work towards it and then an article India Today drew my attention and thatz when I was introduced to Janet Yegneswaran and her organization Trees for Free (http://treesforfree.org/).

She and her organization was doing exactly what I had in mind, after which I read her blog and website and realized her organization was workin towards exactly what I had in mind. But definitely I feel I can contribute more to her organization and have promised that I would be touchin base with her shortly to brainstorm few of my ideas too and ensure that I do my bit in gettin more people to plant trees.

Currently her organization only covers Bangalore but definitely she is open to expanding to other places but is looking for interested people to help her in her endeavor.

Yeah so now you know!!!!!! PLANT A TREE and encourage others too :-)
