Greenfield Recycling Centre
Save Environment. It will save you.
The Greenfield Centre (GC) was instituted with the aim of increasing awareness and providing suitable solutions to the problems caused by lack of rainfall and high pollution. When the world is facing the problems of environmental degradation, rising temperatures, and global warming, GC came up with this initiative to maintain the green cover of the Earth. The main objective is to provide awareness about preserving and growing more trees, which is the only way of implementing the goals of environmental protection.
As we are all aware, today’s deforestation through cutting trees is gradually increasing. To save trees and attain environmental balance on the earth, GC runs an awareness drive called “Plant a tree, Gift a life.” Therefore, GC takes the initiative to encourage and involve students to inspire people to plant more and more trees in cities and villages to cover the earth with greenery with the motto of ‘One child, One plant.’
Apart from plantation, the project also aims to promote, protect, conserve, and develop the environment to bring harmony in nature.
A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people.
– Franklin D. Roosevelt
Our Mission
To generate awareness of afforestation and ensure the availability of a wide range of trees for distribution, having very good quality and health, with 6 to 8 feet in height, which are ready for plantation.
Our Vision
To increase the green cover of the earth by facilitating more tree planting that would strengthen, balance, and harmonize with nature.
Goal
To increase the plantation and distribution of healthy trees that require less post-plantation care with a 100% survival rate.
He that plants tree loves other beside himself. - Thomas Fuller
Why Plant trees?
- Trees store carbon dioxide and absorb other pollutant gases, releasing oxygen back into the air and providing pure air into the atmosphere.
- Trees provide a natural shelter and habitat for birds, animals, and humans under their shade and produce a variety of fruits that help us keep healthy. This helps in maintaining and balancing the ecosystem.
- Wooden furniture and construction materials are made from the wood that is cut from the trees.
- Trees provide cool and pleasant surroundings, which control the overall temperature of the earth. Therefore, more and more trees should be planted to make the world worth living in, as trees improve natural surroundings. Places with a lot of trees make everything more pleasant and lively.
- Trees help to prevent soil erosion and water pollution. By controlling the rainwater running off to the ocean, trees prevent pollutants from reaching the ocean too.
- Trees can greatly conserve energy. Just three trees, when planted in the right location around a home, can reduce summer air-conditioning energy requirements by half.
- Trees have a wide range of medicinal and herbal values. For instance, trees like eucalyptus are popularly used in the treatment of the common cold.
- Trees create economic opportunities. From wood to flowers to fruits, trees provide an unmatched range of things that encourage business and trade.
- Trees offer a free and safe method of protection from ultra-violet rays.

Forests were the first temples of the divinity, and it is in the forests that men have grasped the first idea of architecture.
