We were fortunate to cross paths with Tarak Paul on the road the other day as we were riding up to the Nepal border from Varanasi.
Originally from Calcutta, Tarak has now been cycling now through india for 3 months with a plan to continue for at least 2 years. Tarak is cycling to raise awareness about the importance of planting and not cutting trees!
As he rides he stops at schools all along the way and encourages the students to plant trees around their homes. He is specifically encouraging them to do so on the family members graves/ashes because then these trees are least likely to be cut as they will have an additional significance to the families.
He encourages children to be respectful of their natural environment and to make steps in their lives to live more sustainably. Like cycling!
Really wonderful person with a positive enthisiastic energy doing great things for the planet!
Thanks Tarak!
