Pollution level across the world is on the rise affecting the ecological balance and resulting in climate change. Most of the major Indian cities are reeling under the harmful effects of high pollution levels and it becomes imperative to start taking actions to reduce this harmful impact. Planting trees in large numbers is one of the easiest and most economical ways of reducing the harmful effects of pollution.
Tata AIA Life Insurance has taken a step in this direction through their initiative ‘Rakshakaran Hero’. As part of this initiative, Tata AIA Life Insurance is planting a sapling for every term plan sold by them. The core idea behind this initiative is to encourage consumers to take active steps towards protecting their families and also contribute towards protecting the planet for their loved ones.
Through the Rakshakaran Hero initiative, Tata AIA Life Insurance has planted more than 50,000 saplings until now. Tree plantation also remains vital for countering the rise in greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels and worldwide deforestation, and the effects of these toxic gases.
As per the scientists and climate change experts, tree plantation stands as one of the topmost activities that can make a difference in the current trends of climate change.
