The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Non-Governmental Organisation, Mr Safo Mawuko Kutorwu has been speaking with the media after the exercise which lasted for three days and according to him, if men have in-depth knowledge about the significance of trees in the lives of every human being, they will need not to be told about planting trees.

He noted that, if everyone can make it a habit to plant just a tree in a week or a month, Ghanaians will enjoy a good and healthy atmosphere .

He advised people who practise deforestation just in the name of doing business to stop the act and consider lives first since they are destroying "our vegetations which is resulting to a lot of bad climate change."
