We have achieved significant environmental milestones across various domains. We have utilized natural resources, such as electricity and water, judiciously. Our efforts in saving electricity and energy have earned us the National Energy Conservation award seven times. In the realm of tree planting, we have planted 354 saplings of both small and large trees. Moreover, in alignment with this, the union has facilitated a total of 10,20,000 tree plantations at the village-level societies of Surat and Tapi districts. This accomplishment signifies our role as an eco-friendly partner and contributes to a world record. It is a crucial step towards enhancing environmental wealth. To ensure a better environment for future generations, we require the cooperation and involvement of all our cooperative friends.
