Sharjah-based teenager had a rather unconventional way to celebrate turning 18.
Arushi Madan, a young environmentalist, spent her birthday week planting 100 trees with children in nurseries and labourers.
Ahead of Earth Day on April 22 and her birthday on April 17, Madan said she's been following her 'Birthday Plantation' tradition since 2012, but this year she decided to make it bigger by planting in five different places across the emirate.
"I believe that trees are the lifelines and lungs of earth. Planting trees is the most efficient way to combat climate change and help protect environment," said Madan, an appointed Regional Environment Ambassador by Tunza Eco Generation.
Her last 10 saplings were planted with community friends in a villa near Kuwait roundabout in Sharjah. She was supported by Environment and Protected Areas Authority (EPAA) that gave her 60 plants to grow, Barakat Juice and Lulu Hypermarket.
This year's plantation brings the number to the trees she planted over the past years to 250.
