This Raksha Bandhan, a large number of school kids (seen in the pictures below) have pledged to tie a rakhi to a tree in order to protect it.

Let’s take a leaf out of their book and join them in doing the same - protect the trees that offer us shade, sustenance and so much else, and stop indiscriminate felling of 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.
