\"Bhutan-prince\"
\nClean and green is the world that knows and respects the fruits of nature. On that philosophical note we applaud Bhutan because they created more value for the planet in a scenario that would be celebratory and polluting in most other corners of the world. The country may not look like much on the world map but the way they celebrated the birth of the heir to the monarchy\u2019s throne showcases how big they are when it comes to ecological consciousness. To lead by example, Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay, some of his ministers and even leaders of the opposition party joined hands to plant 108,000 trees on the auspicious day. The Tendrel initiative was inspired by Buddhist values. Coordinator Tenzin Lekphell said, \u201cIn Buddhism, a tree is the provider and nourisher of all life forms, symbolizing longevity, health, beauty and even compassion.\u201d If only the rest of the world shared this perspective.
\n
\n108 is a sacred number in Buddhism, hence the 108,000 trees.<\/p>\n
