ACONCERN

Efforts to cool our surrounding with increasing temperature of our planet,

Besides large scale plantations lets make an small effort of making our homes green by growing potted plants according to the space available,

specially the rooftops with the increasing concrete jungles,which will not only add to the green cover in small areas but also help in lowering the temperature of the houses and the dependence on cooling devices,helping in conservation of energy resources.
