Accountant General of Pakistan Revenues, Ahmar Ellahi on Tuesday kicked off the Spring Tree Plantation Drive with a publicly launched plantation effort to plant trees within the Accountant General’s office.
A ceremony was organized in this connection during which AGPR’s Ahmar Ellahi said that trees are significant because they improve people’s lives and meet their basic requirements.
Speaking on the occasion, he said that during photosynthesis, trees break down food materials and absorb carbon dioxide. As a result, the trees generate carbohydrates using sunshine, he added. He added that trees support life by providing habitat for a variety of creatures, including squirrels, bees, and birds. Trees clean the air by taking carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and emitting oxygen.
Trees chill the surroundings by absorbing heat from the sun. Thus, there is cooling in the atmosphere. The trees provide shade for residences and roadways.
AGPR’s Ahmar Ellahi also discussed the plantation’s ambitions, including intentions to plant lemon trees on the AGPR premises. We will also add diverse fruit-bearing, blooming, and other plant species to enhance the aesthetic attractiveness of the surroundings.
He emphasized residents’ common obligation to plant trees in their houses, neighborhoods, and vacant lots to protect the environment from pollution and ensure a sustainable future.
Ellahi announced the launch of a campaign among youth and children to increase environmental awareness.
He thanked AIMS Horticulture and the Kitchen Gardening Club Islamabad for their assistance in planting the trees. Mr. Naveed Ahmed Khan, editor of the Daily Spokesman, was also present.
