If a tree would be planted on the birthday of each person on Earth, 5.9 billion trees would be added to our capital of trees every year.We promised to do it on each of our birthdays and will recommend it to our children and grandchildren.

This is the revelation I got when I met "Tree" (the founder of the Free Farm). From my perspective, this is Gandhi's constructive program at its best, revamped for the 21st century.
