🌱 The Change Maker
Meet Anand Mishra, a 17-year-old teenager from Lucknow, who has single-handedly transformed his local landscape by planting over 10,000 trees in the last five years.

Fast-forward to 2021, Anand’s initiative has not only transformed the landscape but also positively impacted the local climate. The area, which once recorded higher than average temperatures, now enjoys a considerably cooler climate, thanks to the increased green cover.
Here are some key facts about his initiative:
- Planted over 10,000 trees in 5 years

- Effectively lowered the local temperature by 2 degrees
🎯 The Bigger Picture
Anand’s story is a perfect example of how one person’s initiative can bring about significant positive changes. He challenges us all to consider what we can do to make a difference in our communities, no matter how small that difference may seem.
“If I can plant a tree and ensure it grows, anyone can,” says Anand, encouraging others to follow in his footsteps.
