How and What You Can Contribute!

How and what you can contribute.

Green Umbrella Organisation dose not engage in just creating a hollow awareness but rather works towards environmental issues on ground level which leads us to face practical challenges to function properly on day to day basis.

We are in need of constant support and constructive help in various areas to be able to sustain and continue our work.

You can help us in many ways on different levels. You can choose from following list in which category you wish to render your help to us.

We believe that practical participation from masses on large scale will enable us to tackle with environmental issues faster than never before.

Even if you can't donate yourself, you can help us to reach to donors. If you know people who are interested in supporting any social cause with finance, then you can inform them about our organisation and can inspire them to donate for our cause.  

3) We have to arrange trips to jungle just to collect seeds of indigenous trees. Many of these native trees are flourishing in city limits. And due to ignorance and unawareness of masses, every year lakhs of such seeds get wasted and end up in dustbins. 

If such trees are available in your society premise, in your farm house or in your area, you can invite us to collect seeds of those trees which will help us in great deal or you can do it on your own and can donate those collected seeds to us.

There are many ways to contribute once your heart is filled with compassion towards our dying Mother Earth. 

It is high time that we all take responsibility and undone the atrocities we, the whole of humankind, did on this planet. Other living beings may not be as developed as humans are, but they are definitely not as cruel and as destructive as humankind is. In fact, they are more intelligent than us as they never harm trees or pollute water they survive on.

No animal or bird ever destroy Eco-system they live in. But we humans are so greedy and selfish that we are consuming natural resources for our own benefit without compensating with proper share back to nature to keep the balance. 

So wake up, it is in our hand what we wish to carry forward to our future generations. 

Waiting for your support... !
