Led by Ironman triathlete Rani Maheshwari, The Good Sole Club (TGSC), a collective of passionate runners, cyclists, and triathletes, collaborated with MMF to plant a dense mini-forest at Suraj School, Gurgaon.<p>This initiative represents a tangible stride towards breathing cleaner air into a city grappling with severe pollution, directly contributing to MMF's ambitious vision of planting 10 million trees across India's ten most polluted urban centers by 2030.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Inspired by MMF's vision of uniting communities for cleaner air, Maheshwari, one of only eight Indian women to complete an Ironman, rallied TGSC to address Gurgaon's severe air quality issues.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Million Miyawaki Project, spearheaded by MMF with support from Rise Foundation, has already successfully cultivated 34 urban forests in the Delhi-NCR region. Utilizing the innovative Miyawaki technique, these compact 2000 sq ft plots rapidly grow into self-sustaining forests of 600 native trees within two years, each hosting 20-25 species.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>A unique aspect of this project is the active engagement of school children. MMF partners with schools, empowering students to become environmental ambassadors. They learn firsthand how each mature mini-forest can generate enough oxygen for over 2,400 people, reduce dust, and lower local temperatures, creating vital pockets of clean air within urban environments.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Million Miyawaki Project, spearheaded by MMF with support from Rise Foundation, has already successfully cultivated 34 urban forests in the Delhi-NCR region.
