“Trees are our best friends and the source of nature’s vitality. There is no alternative to planting more trees to build a beautiful, green and livable future for the next generation,” he said.

Referring to the government’s plan to plant 25 crore trees over the next five years, the UNO said the goal should not be limited to a numerical target but should instead create a mass movement for tree planting.

He praised the initiative by Bashundhara Tissue and Bashundhara Shuvosango, saying their activities were expanding beyond urban areas to remote parts of the country. He also called on other private organisations to undertake similar initiatives to contribute to environmental protection.

He urged the students to plant and care for the saplings both at school and at their homes.

“Planting saplings alone is not enough; they must be properly cared for and nurtured until they grow,” he said, stressing the need for collective efforts to ensure a balanced and pollution-free environment for future generations.

Among others, Bashundhara Shuvosango Natore district President Md Mostafizur Rahman, General Secretary Sushmoy Das, Bashundhara Group Senior Executive of Brand and Marketing Md Rashedul Islam Rashed, Kaler Kantho Multimedia Reporter Golam Rabbani, Lalor High School headteacher Md Mahbub Alam, Bashundhara Shuvosango Singra upazila adviser Molla Md Emran Ali Rana, and Lalor union BNP former president and school management committee chairman Rezaul Karim attended the programme.
