Although this is great news and all, I wonder if they're planning on sorting out their sewage / rivers any time soon since that seems to be much more of a pressing issue for them currently...

Tree's are overrated, coral is where it's at. And they ain't doing much good with all their waste being pumped in the Ganges. I am all for people planting tree's, but at the end of the day it's the ocean that keeps us breathing, and our weather in order.
