KNUTSFORD, ENGLAND – MAY 10: Bluebells bloom in a wood in the Cheshire countryside on April 24, 2015 in Knutsford, England. The UK accounts for half of the world’s bluebell population. It is illegal to pick bluebells (Hyacinthoides non-scripta) punishable by fines of up to £5000 per bulb. (Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)

In 1979 a 16-year-old boy in India became devastated after he found a pile of dead snakes who had been scorched to death by extreme heat and decided something had to be done - so he planted a tree. Actually, he planted a tree every day for 35 years.
Now, thirty-nine years later and, thanks to him, what was once a barren land is now a forest 1.6 times the size of central park. The forest contains several thousand varieties of trees and has attracted elephants, tigers, rhinos, deer, wild boars, reptiles, and birds.
The man is now appropriately nicknamed "The Forest Man of India" and is proof that with dedication, something little can change the world.
Way to go helping the environment!
