ISLAMABAD, Sep 05 (APP):Jazz, Pakistan’s leading digital operator, in collaboration with the Capital Development Authority (CDA), organized a large-scale tree plantation drive in Islamabad as part of its nationwide Carbon Sink project to promote environmental conservation and combat climate change.
Under the current tree plantation drive, over 33,700 trees, including 15,000 Kachnar, 18,500 Arjun, and 200 Plum trees, will be planted at different locations across Islamabad including the Margalla Hills, green belts, as well as the Jazz Garden situated near Mauve Area in Sector G9 said a news release.
Jazz employees actively participated in the drive to enhance the green landscape of the federal capital. The 33,700 trees planted during the drive are projected to offset over 1,200 tonnes of carbon annually, significantly contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
