The document discusses a project by students at a middle school in Nallambakkam, India to raise awareness about the negative environmental impacts of babool or karivelam trees. The students organized a rally, distributed pamphlets, and gave speeches to educate the local village people about how karivelam trees absorb moisture from the air but emit carbon dioxide, contributing to global warming. They successfully removed all karivelam trees from their school grounds and are now working to remove them from the village as well. The students celebrated planting new saplings to make the school area green and clean.
