What Was the Plant-a-Tree Programme?
The plant-a-tree event was a programme focused on helping Singapore be more environmentally friendly. The event was sponsored by the Garden City Fund with support from local organizations and businesses, including Öko Essentials, our eco-friendly company. The plant-a-tree event also contributed to the OneMillionTrees movement, a movement that is dedicated to planting one million trees in Singapore over ten years by 2030.
How Did Your Attendance Make a Difference?
Planting trees makes a difference in Singapore in multiple ways. First, trees help make Singapore’s urban infrastructure beautiful, more natural, and less severe. Trees assist in the removal of carbon dioxide from our atmosphere, which removes air pollution and releases oxygen instead. This makes the air safer to breathe and helps make our earth healthier.
Trees also increase the biodiversity in the environment. This benefits us in many ways, including that it slows and prevents soil erosion, provides shade for both humans and animals, supplies homes for small organisms that help keep our ecosystem running, and prevents flooding.
Outside of helping the environment and creating a greener future, planting trees also increase the happiness of those around them. Having a rich, beautiful environment is known to lower stress levels, promote happiness, and create a more comfortable place to live.
