Treesforfree needs your help to continue planting trees

By ⋅ July 27, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

The prob­lem: Over the last 4 years, Janet and her vol­un­teers at treesfor­free have planted 12,896 trees across Ban­ga­lore City to restore the van­ish­ing tree cover. All in an old Maruti car. Now the car has bro­ken down. And the plant­ing has stopped. But the tree felling con­tin­ues… and with it, the global warm­ing, failed mon­soons, cli­mate change… and a host of other prob­lems that affect all of us.

The solu­tion:
If we can raise enough dona­tions to buy a new vehi­cle, we would be back on the road again, plant­ing trees, cool­ing the globe and heal­ing the earth. The vehi­cle ide­ally suited for our oper­a­tions is a Mahin­dra pickup. It costs 4 lacs. If 4000 of us gave just 100 rupees each, then the plant­ing can start again.

How you can help:
Donate as much as you can. All dona­tions are tax exempt under 80 G and you will be given a receipt.

1. Bank Trans­fer
Con­tact vinod.eshwer@gmail.com for the bank details and then send the amount rans­ferred and the names of peo­ple who donated + address where you want the receipts to be delivered.

Or

2. A cheque in favour of ‘Rajanet Yeg­neswaran Char­i­ta­ble Trust’ and send it to
Rajanet Yeg­neswaran Char­i­ta­ble Trust
No 11, 20 L Cross, Sri Rama tem­ple Road,
Ejipura, Vivek­na­gar Post, Bangalore-560 047
Tel: +91 9845449703

Thank you in advance from all the babies, birds, bees and other beings to come :)
