Meet “The Tree Doctor”, Vijay Nishanth, who has been tirelessly working to save the dying trees. He has documented around 8000 trees through a GPS technology and searched for decaying trees under his flagship project Vruksha.com. This environment conservationist and animal activist believe that “a tree can be treated as humans are”.

In his study, He found that miscreants were poisoning the trees rather than cutting them to blindfold the authorities including the tree lovers. The outside look of a tree does not exhibit its moribund state. Hence, it dies a slow and secret death.

Recently, Vijay saved a Jamun tree in Bangalore. The house owner poisoned the tree after believing in superstitious advice. He believes that trees can be preserved by making every tree count.

“Whenever I map any harmed tree I clean the wounds caused on tissues of roots damaged due to poisoning, create an artificial layer with orange oil to stop the spread of infection, and within a month the tree recovers Healthy,” he said.

According to Vijay, authorities must conduct tree census and map green cover. This step will help them and activists to rescue the dying trees.

The Logical Indian admires the efforts of Vijay Nishanth to “Rescue” and “Heal” the dying trees, We need more people like him to conserve the environment. Today, When most of us don’t even know that a tree can be poisoned and mangled to a slow death, Vijay is working hard to make people aware on how to save the trees. Next time you come across a dying tree, Please contact Vijay Nishanth.

“Pacific Garbage Patch Is Now Three Times The Size Of France”

These are a few news headlines from the past couple of months. No matter how much we try to deny it, over the course of time, plastic has become a part and parcel of our lives and it is destroying the environment and also endangering lives of animals.

While we have been made to believe that plastic is an indispensable part of our lives, it is destroying everything around us. According to UN Environment, about one million plastic drinking bottles are purchased every minute around the world. Also, up to 5 trillion single-use plastic bags are used worldwide every year. This means that almost half of the plastic created in the world is thrown away after a single-use.

All this plastic now ends up either in landfills or in the ocean. The marine life is heavily endangered because of plastic. Reports of aquatic animals dying of plastic pollution are increasing every day. A study from 2015 found around 44,000 incidences of animals getting entangled in plastic debris since 1960s. Plastic, that disintegrates into smaller pieces, are often eaten by smaller fish, which the ultimately ends up in our stomach. That is carcinogenic for human beings.

It is in this context that Indiabulls Home Loans has decided to do its bit and contribute to a plastic free environment. Setting the tone in its own offices, the company has decided to do away with single-use plastic bags and bottles at work.

As a special Independence Day initiatives, they have come up with a beautiful video #PlasticSeAzaadi. In the video, set against the backdrop of an Independence Day celebration at school children discuss the demerits of plastic use and how it is detrimental to the environment.

As with many important matters in life, it is children who recognize the right path and set the example. If they can, then why it is that adult can’t?

The Logical Indian appreciates Indiabulls Home Loans for such a noble and necessary initiative to make our world a better place. We might not realize now, but the effects of excessive plastic could lead to ultimate destruction of Earth. We are ready to give up plastic, are you?
