Amritsar being a popular destination of pilgrims and visitors, the city’s natural resources are under tremendous strain. In order to maintain the ecology of this sacred city, planting forests is critical, and we are confident that everyone will join in this massive effort.
The current holy land/ lakes/ rivers of Punjab are crying out loud to be saved from harsh chemicals infused from household, factory and agricultural (pesticide) waste. We might not have control over factory waste but we can certainly reduce household waste by adopting Bio Enzyme as an alternative to harsh Ammonia phosphate, nitrate and similar chemical based household cleaners.
This movement has gone global in recent weeks. These forests are planted following the Japanese Miyawaki methodology and 95% of trees planted are surviving and thriving. These self-sustaining forests planted densely are geo-tagged and are visible on Google maps all across Punjab and elsewhere.
The inspiration behind the Climate Crisis Anthem music video did not come to me all at once... Khalsa has a history of being helpers and saviors... Acting on the broad canvas of history, they serve the good of all.
“This project has galvanised the youth of Punjab, volunteers at grassroots levels are growing each day for achieving an ever green revolution for the state. Everyone can plant a forest in their backyard, school, college or at their own religious place. This is a collective and a solid step to fight climate change. EcoSikh offers this knowledge and handholding to everyone. We are open to collaborate with all the faith groups to create more sacred forests.”
6000 trees, shrubs, plants crops of 58 species have been planted
The increasing barrenness of the Earth also reflects a spiritual emptiness within humans
