The Greening Malaysia: 100 Million Trees Planting Campaign was a volunteer project which was done by the university students that aimed to address the issue of deforestation and climate change by planting 100 million trees throughout Malaysia. I joined this event as a representative of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. As a volunteer, my role was to assist in the preparation and planting of the trees, as well as the maintenance of the planting site.
During the project, I helped in preparing the planting site by clearing any debris and marking out the areas where the trees were to be planted. I also assisted in the actual planting of the trees, ensuring that each tree was planted correctly and in the correct location. Additionally, I helped in maintaining the planting site by watering and weeding around the newly planted trees.
The impact of this project was significant, both for the environment and for myself as a volunteer. Planting these trees helped to address the issue of deforestation and contributed to the fight against climate change. It was also a great opportunity to learn more about the importance of preserving our natural resources and the impact of human activity on the environment. On a personal level, it was a great opportunity to give back to the community and make a positive impact.
One of the main challenges I faced during the project was the physical labor involved in preparing and planting the trees. It was hard work, but with the help of my fellow volunteers, we were able to overcome this challenge and successfully plant the trees.
Overall, the Greening Malaysia: 100 Million Trees Planting Campaign was a valuable and rewarding experience. It allowed me to make a difference in the fight against climate change and contribute to the preservation of our natural resources. I am grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of this project and will always remember the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction that came with it. I hope this initiative will continue and be successful in the long run and I will always support any environmental friendly projects in the future.
