Environment & Plantation
Plant a tree. Save a river. Cool a planet. For our children's children.
What is the problem in West Bengal?
Sundarbans loses 5.5 sq km of mangroves every year to cyclones and sea-level rise.
Kolkata's air quality is now consistently 'poor to severe' (AQI 250+) from November to February.
The Damodar, Mahananda and Hooghly carry untreated sewage and microplastics.
What can be done?
Plant 1 lakh native trees a year — neem, arjun, sundari, kadam — not eucalyptus.
Set up community composting + dry-waste segregation in 100 Panchayats.
Restore 50 village ponds for fish, drinking water and groundwater recharge.
How can you & I solve this?
Sponsor a tree on every birthday, anniversary or job promotion (₹200 a sapling).
Switch your home and office to segregated waste — SKNM picks up dry waste for recycling.
Join a monthly clean-up drive at a local lake, ghat or roadside.
