Environmentalists slam performative tree-planting events by politicians, calling for a shift to "tree growing" to ensure survival rates and real impact.
Planting a tree for a photo op is easy; keeping it alive is hard. Environmentalists are calling for a ban on performative "tree planting days" by politicians, arguing they waste resources without results.
The call comes after an audit revealed that 60% of seedlings planted during the last National Tree Planting Day have died due to lack of care. "We don't need more launch events; we need rangers and water," said Green Belt Movement chair. The activists propose a "Tree Growing" policy where leaders are judged by survival rates, not the number of holes dug.
