Tribal community in Andhra Pradesh participating in tree planting activities through
Tata Projects’ Green Thumb initiative.

As part of the initiative this year, Tata Projects and its associates are undertaking
a nationwide tree plantation campaign. A campaign based on a unique online participation
model of, ‘You click, we plant.’ Through this initiative, Tata Projects will plant
250,000 trees. That’s at its various project sites in the years 2019-20.

## Deforestation

First of all, [deforestation](https://greenlivingguy.com/2020/04/brazil-deforestation-leaves-hundreds-species-threatened/)
has affected the tribal population. Hence, this is an earnest endeavor to give back
forests to tribal communities. So Tata Projects employees, through its CSR activities
are aiding and supporting tribals. Aiding and supporting in planting about 12,000
trees. Located at Anthagram village, in Telangana. In addition, Tata Projects employees
and site workers are carrying out extensive plantation at ‘Ramagundam’ and several
other project sites.

Therefore encouraged by the company’s initiative, the Forest Department of Andhra
Pradesh has provided three lakh saplings, free of cost. All to be planted within
the state. This will help the initiative to gain further momentum in Andhra Pradesh.

In addition, [Green Thumb is a truly unique initiative](https://greenlivingguy.com/2009/11/jill-and-ally-zarin-green-initiatives-and-reality/).
It’s led by an online ‘promotion’. That’s wherein the ‘trees’ are attributed for‘
clicks’ received on its microsite. So of clicks received are more than trees planted
then these are attributed to the cause of protecting the environment.

Furthermore, the Green Thumb initiative, was witnessed in its full glory at [Bird](https://greenlivingguy.com/2018/03/podium-for-bird-in-punta-del-este-to-maintain-title-bid/)
Park. All on the banks of the Jaipur’s Rejuvenated Dravyavati River. Hundreds of
school children and other prominent citizens from all walks of life came together.
Again all with a single minded purpose of planting trees. Finally and aiming towards
a greener future.

In conclusion, all citizens who save the environment, can express their support 
for the cause by clicking on the Green Thumb Microsite. Finally, the [www.tplgreenthumb.com](https://web.archive.org/web/20190302171932/http://tplgreenthumb.com:80/)
