Gurudev, please ask the people here to plant one tree each when they go back to their homes in the towns and villages so that the proportion of oxygen increases in the atmosphere. I find that many of them do not do so once they return from here.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

I would not agree with your request of just planting one tree only. I would suggest that each person should plant five trees at least. You know when we had come to this land here where the Ashram is now, it was completely dry and barren. You could not even find a blade of grass growing here. But just look at how green and beautiful our Ashram is today. So we must all keep planting more and more trees continuously.
