that planting of saplings offered a solution to the problems caused by
global warming.He was addressing a gathering at Cotton Hill Girls
Higher Secondary School here to mark the inauguration of 'Ente Maram
Varnotsavam', a painting competition organised by the City Corporation
to encourage students to plant saplings. Mr.Viswom said that school
students would be given one sapling each on June 5 every year to
instil the love of nature in them."The 'Ente Maram' project succeeded
only because of the spirited participation of students. It is their
enthusiasm that is responsible for the success of other afforestation
programmes like 'Nammude Maram', 'Vazhiyora Thanal' and 'Haritha
Theeram'. The 'Haritha Keralam' project which aims to plant 10 million
saplings all over the State will be taken up next year," he added
