Just below China, the second most populous country in the world is India, with more than one billion people ... Such amount is to take advantage and do things that can benefit all its inhabitants, like trying to generate more oxygen For the planet, which is missing so much these days.

To try to reverse the effects of industry and climate change, which have wiped out a significant portion of the world's forests, in India they set the record for reforestation, which also belonged to India.

Just last year, 49 million trees were planted in Utar Pradesh, in the north of the Asian country ... In 24 hours!

In response to the Paris Climate Change Agreement, in which the government of India committed to increase its forest area by five million hectares by 2030, more than six billion dollars have been earmarked to encourage The states to initiate reforestation campaigns.

More than 1.5 million people in the state of Madhya Pradesh attended this call ... And in what way! They managed to plant 66 million trees in 12 hours ... A new record!

It should be noted that India is the third emitter of gases with carbon dioxide, so something had to do about it.

Fortunately the population responded, not only to get more oxygen, but also the representatives of the Guinness World Record, and once the data is confirmed, will be the owners of the new brand, which encouraged the participation of citizens .

"Villagers of Konda in Dhar district have gathered to plant 10,000 saplings as part of the historic #MPPlants6CroreTrees"

The Narmada River basin received these millions of trees, from 20 different species, so that their waters will nourish them and allow them to grow and generate oxygen for the whole world.

Hopefully, these initiatives will be extended, not only in Indian territory, but throughout the world, as the situation has begun to be critical.

Instead of trying to break other records, which are absurd, this is a good way to gain the recognition of others, and of course, the planet itself, which will surely breathe in relief, just like us.

This is truly newsworthy. Can you imagine what effect this will have in 10 or 20 years? This reminds me of a true story, "The Man Who Planted Trees" which can be read at the link below and shows what a difference trees can make. Thank you for sharing this great story.
