Hi Friends !! As all of us know that Globally, forest cover is one-third less than what it once was and global deforestation continues at 13 million hectares per year. This indiscriminate felling of trees threatens the environmental health and sustainability of communities in rural and urban milieu.

Green beginning !! Its 1st July. Beginning of Rotary new year. So RCMCP have decided to kick start the new year  with Tree plantation drive. As we all know that   tree Plantation drives combat many environmental issues like deforestation, erosion of soil, desertification in semi-arid areas, global warming and hence enhancing the beauty and balance of the environment. Trees absorb harmful gases and emit oxygen resulting in increase in oxygen supply. On an average, a single tree emits 260 pounds of oxygen annually. Similarly, a fully-grown tree is sufficient for 18 human beings in one acre of land in one year stressing the importance of tree plantation for mankind. Govt of Maharashtra is running VAN MAHOTSAV drive from July 1st to 7th. As part of it, RCMCP did plantation of BAHUGUNI trees, which give small white fruits and birds can feast on them. On A,B,C and D roads and Churchgate area many trees had uprooted because of heavy storms and ongoing work of Metro. So it was very muc
