Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has issued a powerful call to action, urging all Ethiopians to participate in a historic tree-planting initiative this Thursday, July 31st. As part of the nation's ambitious Green Legacy Initiative, the country aims to plant an unprecedented 700 million seedlings in a single day, starting at 6 AM.
In a tweet, PM Abiy declared, "This Thursday, Let’s Make History Together!" He framed the ambitious target as a testament to "the strength, unity, and determination of our people."
The Prime Minister emphasized that this effort goes beyond simply planting trees. It is a collective "call to action for every citizen, young and old, urban and rural," to actively contribute to environmental restoration, water source protection, livelihood improvement, and securing a sustainable future for generations.
"I urge each and every one of you to mobilize and participate," Abiy tweeted. "Together, we can grow not only trees but a stronger, greener Ethiopia."
This massive undertaking underscores Ethiopia's commitment to combating climate change and fostering a more resilient environment across the nation.
