Lets play the same ole game all over again.
Pick up a shovel and dig.
What are you digging for?
Information!
what ten variety of trees
are available as saplings from the local
forest department for general planting?
what are the costs of planting them?
what is the correct time of the year
considering that the ground water should
look after the saplings without need for
anyone to attend to them in a public place?
does the sherrif of the city have a program
for distributing saplings free for anyone
who promises to plant them?
in Mumbai we get thousands of saplings
every june.
take advise from:
Annamalai Reforestation Society
they do great work -
they dont just sit on their name!

LE ROYAL MERIDIEN, Chennai
Le Royal Meridien, Chennai mustered a team of over
150 persons on Tuesday 5th June at 7am to clean the
roadside of all the garbage outside the hotel but
when the rains came at 07:45 the team were forced
to stop. So team repeated the exercise again on
Thursday 7th June and removed a massive amount of
garbage from 7am to 9am that day. Parallel to this
the team cleaned up the "traffic island triangle"
nearest to the hotel and put good quality soil on it.
Plant trees and bushes in it and maintain it tidily
as our contribution to helping keep our city clean
and tidy. A banner has also been put up saying
"Le Royal Meriden Chennai protects the environment.
