They protect us from the sun.
And we play in their shade.
Yeh humein pollution se bachate hai.
And give the oxygen we breathe

BUT WE STILL CUT TREES

VRIKSHABANDHAN...
A bond of love

Iss Raksha Bandhan ko,
Let’s promise to save the trees.

This year, The Quint, along with the campaigners of ‘My Right To Breathe’, will celebrate Vrikshabandhan – a bond between us and the trees.
Let us take a pledge to protect our green sibling better. Let’s celebrate Vrikshabandhan this Rakhi. Send us photos and videos of you tying a rakhi on a tree and tell us why you want to protect that tree.
