Famous celebrities take part in tree plantation in Mumbai

Many Bollywood celebrities including Arjun Rampal, Sunny Leone, Pooja Batra and Arshad Warsi gathered for a plantation drive on Tuesday to help in saving the environment of the Mumbai City. It was an initiative of the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai and Bhamla Foundation under which the actors planted 1000 saplings and pledged to plant more. 

Arjun Rampal who has been associated with the cause for quite some time now said to the media, "It is quite alarming how global warming is affecting the climate and environment, so we have to take a stand to protect the earth. It is our responsibility." 

Designer Manish Malhotra who was also a part of the group said, "I think Asif Bhamla of Bhamla Foundation is doing a great job and I support the cause. Apart from our profession, I think we should pay attention to the environment because this is where we are living." 

Considering the fact that Mumbai is facing a tough time in terms of environment as many constructors are cutting trees rapidly, Asif Bhamla said, "... everybody is active enough to create awareness and that is why a few years back the metro project of Arey Colony has stopped and now it is in a negotiation phase. 

All the celebrities enjoyed their time to plant trees and watering them. This was a great initiative as today many people follow their favorite actors and if actors do such an activity the chances are high the people will follow suit. 

As per a report, the pollution count of Mumbai has raised with a rate of 25% in past two years. The air is gradually becoming less breathable which will soon start affecting the human body and other vegetation.
