100,000 saplings to protect environment
The Government of Tamil Nadu’s Cuddalore District Administration has initiated a major tree planting drive beginning 30 July 2010. The drive aims to plant a hundred thousand saplings in and around SIPCOT area and neighbouring villages to conserve the environment and prevent global warming.
A massive tree planting programme was launched at Chemplast Sanmar at Cuddalore in which Cuddalore District Collector Seetharaman
participated and planted saplings in Sanmar’s factory premises.
About 10,000 saplings were distributed to 27 companies situated in the industrial area. This would help face the vagaries of monsoon and protect the environment. While trees would be planted alongside the roads, coconut tree saplings would be given one each to individual houses in the area.
