They help in reducing pollution!

Yes, they do! Trees filter pollutants from the air and provide shade. Now, let's remember this with the acronym KEY - 'K' for 'Keep air clean', 'E' for 'Encourage biodiversity', and 'Y' for 'Yield oxygen'.

Planting and Maintenance of Plants

Unlock Audio Book

Signup and Enroll to the course for listening the Audio Book

  1. Plant at least five different plants in your locality during this academic year and ensure their maintenance till they grow.

Detailed Explanation

This activity encourages students to engage actively with their environment by planting a variety of plants. By planting five different types, students can learn about various species and their needs. 'Maintenance' means taking care of the plants, which includes watering them, ensuring they receive enough sunlight, and protecting them from pests. This involvement serves not only to beautify the locality but also helps in understanding plant growth, sustainability, and biodiversity.

Examples & Analogies

Imagine planting flowers in a garden at home. Just like you need to water them regularly and make sure they have enough sunlight, the same goes for the five different plants in this activity. Think of it as raising a pet; it needs your attention and care to thrive, just like the plants will.

Gifting Plants to Promote Awareness

Unlock Audio Book

  1. Promise yourself that this year you will gift at least 5 plants to your friends and relatives on their achievements, or on occasions like birthdays. Ask your friends to take proper care of these plants and encourage them to gift plants to their friends on such occasions. At the end of the year count the plants that have been gifted through this chain.

Detailed Explanation

This activity promotes sharing and spreading awareness about the importance of plants and nature. By gifting plants to friends and family, students encourage a culture of environmental care. The act of gifting can symbolize love, care, and appreciation while also emphasizing the need for everyone to contribute to nature's well-being. Tracking the number of plants gifted can help students visualize the impact they are making in their community and encourage more people to care for plants.

Examples & Analogies

Think of it like a chain reaction: when you gift a plant to someone, they may feel inspired to take care of it and maybe even give a plant to someone else. It's like sharing kindness; for every plant you give, it could lead to more plants being cared for, creating a small forest of kindness and greenery.
