PROJECT TREE
If we cut one tree, then let’s plant two new trees in our space.
Some points to ponder on PLANTING | GROWING | SAVING trees:
Trees reduce air conditioning needs by 30%
A mature tree removes 70 times more pollution than a newly planted tree
A single tree produces 260 pounds of oxygen per year
All above numbers are approximate
Typically the Forest Department provides free trees
Cheap trick to water a young tree  – Watch the video
Protect the young tree – This concept can be applied – Watch the video
 Trees properly placed around buildings can reduce air conditioning needs by 30%
A mature tree removes almost 70 times more pollution than a newly planted tree
A single tree produces approximately 260 pounds of oxygen per year. That means two mature trees can supply enough oxygen annually to support a family of four
One tree can absorb as much carbon in a year as a car produces while driving 26,000 miles
Over the course its life, a single tree can absorb one ton of carbon dioxide

Throughout the maldives, there are a number of historical sites which are steeped in ancient maldives history. Some of these sites are located among the inhabited islands which crisscrossed across the country. Among these islands, none is perhaps more famous and more rich in history than the sites located in the island of Gdh Vaadhoo.
The history surrounding these sites and the stories which date back within such times highlight the island’s significance their vital role into preserving a rich culture. As such, the preservation of these historical sites play a pivotal role.
Hence, here are some of the names of the famous historical sites which need to be developed and to be preserved.
1) vaadhoo dhanna kaleygefaanu mosque
2) vaadhoo dhannakaleygefaanu tomb and fadiyai thakurufaan tomb and monetary
3) Malaada Mosque
4) Outdoor Bathhouse brought in from Ayada Maldives Resort
5) Thudey Monestary
6) Gala Mosque and Monestary
7) The great Stups
8) The small Stupa

“We all have the chance to be superheroes, by just not throwing trash in our environment. Being near the water boosts creativity and also lowers stress and anxiety.
Which is why every weekend the ppl from the island of Gdh Vaadhoo…join hands and contribute by volunteering to clean up our beaches. Reducing our individual use of single-use plastics is one of these small steps that can make a big impact.
The Maldivian island of Gdh. Vaadhoo is a teaching and learning hub between 1500-1600s.
The ancient mosque on the island vaadhoo is said to be where Mohamed Jamaaluddin (Vaadhoo Dhanna Kaleyfaanu) started his teachings with the help of Vaadhoo Katheeb (Mohamed Fadiyahthakuru).
he was the country’s most-beloved religious teacher. You can still visit his tomb at this mosque.
Happy earth day
