Schools in Surin help reduce global warming

Over 300 schools in Surin Province in the Northeast had their students grow trees to reduce global warming effects.

Surin Governor Pramote Sajjarak lauded Surin Educational Service Area Office and 300 schools under it which created an activity encouraging students to grow trees in the schools and public places, with each responsible for one tree, to help reduce global warming effects. Mr. Pramote said it was an admirable project and he wanted to see all schools in Surin initiate good projects such as this one.

He added that there were many ways to help reduce global warming such as growing trees in front of houses as one tree could absorb a ton of carbon dioxide throughout its life. Other means include the growing of bamboos as fences and the reduction of the use of plastic bags.
