Hug a tree. It has been holding the soil for you.

हिन्दी
पेड़ हैं धरती का गहना, इनके बिना मुश्किल है रहना।
आओ मिलकर पेड़ लगाएँ, धरती को हरा बनाएँ।
पेड़ कटेंगे तो साँसें घटेंगी।
हर जन्मदिन पर एक पौधा, यही है सबसे अच्छा सौदा।
पौधा लगाना आसान है, उसे पालना असली काम है।
छाँव चाहिए तो पेड़ लगाइए।
पेड़ों से है वर्षा आती, धरती की प्यास बुझाती।
पेड़ लगाकर भूल न जाना, पानी देकर उसे बचाना।
एक बच्चा, एक पेड़, एक वादा।
आज जो पौधा रोपोगे, कल उसकी छाँव में बैठोगे।
ਪੰਜਾਬੀ
ਰੁੱਖਾਂ ਬਿਨਾਂ ਨਾ ਛਾਂ, ਨਾ ਸਾਹ।
ਹਰ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਲਾਵੇ ਇੱਕ ਰੁੱਖ।
ਰੁੱਖ ਲਾ ਕੇ ਭੁੱਲ ਨਾ ਜਾਇਓ, ਪਾਣੀ ਪਾ ਕੇ ਪਾਲ ਵਿਖਾਇਓ।
ਅੱਜ ਬੂਟਾ ਲਾਓ, ਕੱਲ੍ਹ ਛਾਵੇਂ ਬਹਿ ਜਾਓ।
In common use (not written by us)
The best time to plant was years ago. The next best is this monsoon.
पेड़ लगाओ, जीवन बचाओ।
एक पेड़, सौ सुख।
हरियाली जहाँ, खुशहाली वहाँ।
ਰੁੱਖ ਲਾਓ, ਸੁੱਖ ਪਾਓ।
ਇੱਕ ਰੁੱਖ, ਸੌ ਸੁੱਖ।
Nothing matches. Try a shorter word, or choose All.
Where these slogans are used
Plantation drives, Van Mahotsav week, eco-club boards, the tree guard around a new sapling, and the banner at a society or village planting day. A slogan tied to a real sapling, with the name of the child or class that planted it, is remembered far longer than one on a chart.
Write your own tree slogan
The strongest tree slogans say what a tree gives: shade, fruit, air, rain, a home for birds, a swing in summer. Choose one gift and one promise. "This neem gives shade. I give it water." The promise is the part most slogans forget, and it is the part that keeps the sapling alive after the photograph is taken.
- English pairs: tree and free, green and clean, plant and grant, shade and made, root and fruit.

Make the drive count
- Plant trees that belong to your area. Ask a local nursery or the forest department which ones do well.
- Decide before planting who will water each sapling through the first summer.
- Write the planting date and the carer's name on a small tag. Visit it on the same date next year.
What to avoid
- Slogans that only count saplings planted. Count the ones that are alive a year later.
- Nailing boards and banners into living trees.
Using these slogans
- A plantation slogan means more with a promise: name who will water the sapling.
