Planting trees as part of celebrations

Recently I have come across the news of Bhutan which states that Bhutan has welcomed the birth of its new prince by planting 108,000 trees across the country as part of a prayer for the royal child to grow up happily. It was such a pleasant piece of news and should be a lesson for us. Many people in Bangladesh like to chop down trees for monetary benefits without even thinking of the consequences. If we change our mindset and make tree plantation a part of all our celebrations, our future generation would be benefitted. Let us all give it a thought.
