Branches in the Western Province carried out educational programs at schools and a clean up program at the Negombo beach. Distribution of plants to selected schools in Colombo was also carried out to inculcate a habit of planting for a better tomorrow & the distribution of plants to customers also took place to encourage them towards a greener community

Branches in the Central , North Western & Uva provinces created awareness on how to protect the environment by installing community boards in public areas.
