Dr. Kariuki Leads in Tree Planting
Dr Hon. Hezekiah Kariuki Mwangi Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Together As One Micro Investment and Comfort Homes early Friday morning heeded the call by His Excellency the President Dr. Hon. William Samoei Ruto to plant trees. His Excellency made the clarion call in honor and remembrance of the victims of the flash floods in the country.
As early as 7 am he had visited an orchard and selected choice fruit trees to distribute free of charge to residents of his home county – Kirinyaga, because Charity begins at home.
“I am giving over 20,000 Grevillea trees and over 500 avocado hash species in Kirinyaga County following our President’s directives,’ Dr. Kariuki noted.
He added:”Climate change has undoubtedly played a role in the frequency and severity of natural disasters like the floods we’ve experienced. But in the face of adversity, there is hope. Together, we can take meaningful action to mitigate its effects and safeguard our communities for generations to come.
Planting a tree may seem like a small act, but its impact reverberates far beyond its roots. Trees symbolize resilience, growth, and hope. They are a testament to our collective strength and determination to build a better, more sustainable world, even in the face of adversity. Trees are nature’s guardians, essential in combating climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide, stabilizing soil, and regulating water cycles.
On this National Tree-planting Day, let us join hands in rebuilding a greener future. By participating in this initiative, you will not only contribute to healing our environment but also play a crucial role in fortifying our defenses against future floods. Together, let’s turn the tide on climate change. Let’s plant the seeds of a greener, more resilient future, one tree at a time.”
