- Per capita CO2 emission is 1300 kgs by each person
- Full grown bamboo capable of absorbing 500 kgs. of CO2 per plant per year
- It is enough if each person plants 3 bamboo during their entire life time.
- CO2 emission 12 X 1.33 ton = 16 million tons of CO2 for the whole population
- Assuming that 50% of the present emission is absorbed by the existing green canopy, the balance 8 million tons of CO2 need to be neutralized for Chennai to become Carbon Neutral. Number of bamboo required to neutralize would be 8 / 0.5 = 16 million plants.
- This cloned variety is a fast growing plant
- Does not have thorns hence does not attract snakes
- Plant in western side of house to protect against evening solar radiation, this will cool the room temperature

22 BENEFITS OF TREES
Excess carbon dioxide (CO2) is building up in our atmosphere, contributing to climate change.
Trees absorb CO2, removing and storing the carbon while releasing oxygen back into the air.
In one year, an acre of mature trees absorbs the same amount of CO2 produced when you drive your car 26,000 miles.
Trees absorb odors and pollutant gases (nitrogen oxides, ammonia, sulfur dioxide and ozone) and filter particulates out of the air by trapping them on their leaves and bark.
Three trees placed strategically around a single-family home can cut summer air conditioning needs by up to 50 percent. By reducing the energy demand for cooling our houses, we reduce carbon dioxide and other pollution emissions from power plants.
Shade from trees slows water evaporation from thirsty lawns. Most newly planted trees need only fifteen gallons of water a week. As trees transpire, they increase atmospheric moisture.
BIRTH DAY EARTH DAY
You take or organise a tree sapling and a tree guard. You go to the birthday friend’s place. Ask him / her to come out to the road with other invitees and do birthday celebrations by you and him / her together planting the tree. Within four wall celebration will become a street celebration. And whenever he leaves his/her place or arrives will certainly see the tree and will fondly remember you.
Your or a member of family birthday, celebrate on the road by planting a tree. Every resident will be happy and greet you and he/she will also follow your example. Same principle applies to wedding day, wedding anniversary, felicitation and award functions.

Omissions:
Humans should do many things which they don’t do, though they can easily do.
MOTHER EARTH PLEDGE & ANTHEM
- Mother Earth, We thank you. You give us oxygen, but we give you carbon dioxide. You give us food, but we give you garbage. You give us water, but we give you sewage. You give us rain, but we give you acid rain. You give us forests, but we give you concrete jungles.
- You give us jewels, but we bombard & disfigure you. We failed to understand that we are not there without you. On this day we swear and take pledge, to save you in order to save ourselves.
- We will reduce our carbon footprints by using ExNoRa Magic Log Book. We undertake to spread this message with Missionary Zeal to everyone everywhere at all times.
TREE BROTHER & TREE SISTER
Trees have no six senses like us. Even when do nothing, we are breathing and creating carbon footprints. Trees take in oxygen during nights, but gives back ten times of oxygen during day time. Humans are one-way traffic who know only to take. But trees are like two way traffic. The trees take less from Mother Earth and give back more to Mother Earth. Can we all realise it now & become like trees.
But at day times, the TREES you give carbon dioxide and releases oxygen. But the incredible information is that it gives 10 times more oxygen during day than what Trees you take in the night times. But trees, you give shade beneath the space occupied.
