Stand Up & Take Action- 2008

( Students of Swami Vivekanand College of Engineering
taking Action - Tree plantation - Mission Green Earth )
The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.
Herbert Spencer(1820 - 1903) British Philosopher

In September 2000, 189 Heads of Nations came together to commit to work together to build a safer, more prosperous and equitable world for all by 2015 at the United Nations Millennium Summit, which gave birth to the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In 2007, in an extraordinary initiative called Stand Up and Speak Out, assisted by governments and NGOs all over the world, a staggering 43.7 million people spread over 127 countries stood up within 24 hours and took an oath to end poverty. In 2008, the campaign is called Stand Up and Take Action.

One of the MDGs is to “ensure environmental sustainability”. Global warming is no longer “somebody else's” problem.

Green Earth is a commitment to plant 100 million trees and have a 100 million people stand up and take the oath on October 17, 18 or 19, 2008.

Indore AOL team has already geared up for this historic event.
