Here are some extra pictures....

Here's a concerned KM who cycled to Lalbagh, and then, with other members of the Bangalore Biking Club (yours truly is a member!) cycled to Town Hall, too...

The poster was made by

anushsh. It says, roads are not meant only for cars, they are also meant for legs!

A couple of posters that I made:

if you cut off the trees what happens to us? poster

and

Here's one gentleman asking a "green" question...

My proud answer is, (like a bride or a groom)..."I do!"

Here are Pavitra-Minty and

sharathm with another poster I made..isn't that tree nice?

And don't miss the...er...tree fingers in the picture! ;)

Lots of children...that was great to see....

Some of my friends from the Bangalore Bikers' (that's cyclists, not motorbikes, though there's one in the photo!) Club turned up in support, too...

And let me end with this unrelated, but witty tee that supports Free and Open Source Software:

Inch by inch, Yathin....inch by frustrating inch, all the while losing trees to determined greed and political pressure...it's a heartbreaking process sometimes.

And yet, if we DON'T do it, we will be consumed with guilt later on that we had the chance to do something, and we didn't...

I loved your tree! Nicely painted!

Best of all, though, I love-love-loved that T-shirt at the end! I'd love one of those! Whoever made it is so clever!

Congratulations to u guys on a wonderful campaign. Trees make a huge difference to a locality. We shifted from Jayanagar to Konana Kunte, an industrial locality with no trees, its really bad.

Great work..hope something good happens..!!

Also, I believe there are hundreds of Bangaloreans who are sitting outside Bangalore and willing to do their bit for the cause in whatever way they can. Is there anything planned for such people by Hasiru-Usiru?
