Please do not wait for government to plant trees.
Sowing seeds or planting trees does not cost much.
Just collect seeds of Peeple, mango, Lemon, Jamun, Neem, Custard Apple etc.
Then dig two-three inch hole on open spaces, roadside, footpaths, highways, gardens and also in your society or bungalow.
Bury these seeds in each hole with soil and then water them every two days in summer.
In rainy season no need to water them.
After 15 to 30 days small plants will be born.
Please nurture them and ensure they grow big.
Let us make this a National movement and plant 10 crore trees all over Pakistan
