Dr
Norman
Borlaug
was
the
father
of
India's
Green
Revolution.
He
had
once
quoted,
"Man
seems
to
insist
on
ignoring
the
lessons
available
from
history" with
respect
to
how
the
present
age
human
tend
to
neglect
the
consequences
of
ignoring
nature
and
humanity.
Protecting
environment
is
every
citizen's
right,
but
people
hardly
take
it
seriously.
So,
many
NGOs
rope
in
popular
actors
to
promote
go
green
acts
and
conduct
eco-friendly
drives
to
raise
global
awareness,
in
order
to
take
positive
environmental
action.
In
Tamil,
many
popular
names
have
stood
for
the
cause.
Now,
we
bring
you
the
names
of
the
actors
who
are
involved
in
the
go
green
drives.
Vivek
Vivek
stands
tall
among
the
rest
in
Tamil
as
he
actively
involves
in
go
green
drives.
He
is
a
self-proclaimed
environmentalist.
The
comedian
is
often
seen
promoting
the
drive
by
planting
saplings.
Vijay
Illayathalapathy
Vijay
makes
time
for
go
green
drives.
Last
year,
he
was
the
Brand
Ambassador
of
the
World
Environment
Day.
Youth
Exnora
International
and
US
Consulate
General
organised
a
week
campaign
with
the
name
'V
GO
GREEN'.
His
star
power
ensured
good
response
as
1000s
of
people
from
different
walks
of
life
participated
in
the
event.
Ajith
Kumar
Many
believe
that
Ajith
Kumar
is
only
passionate
about
films,
bikes
and
cars.
But
many
are
not
aware
of
his
other
side.
The
actor
is
an
environmentalist,
who
supports
the
cause
in
his
own
terms.
His
parents
have
been
members
of
Exnora
International,
an
organisation
that
focuses
on
preserving
nature
and
preventing
environmental
degradation.
When
his
fan
clubs
were
active,
the
actor
made
it
a
point
to
ask
the
members
to
plant
saplings
all
across
the
state
and
segregate
garbage.
At
one
point
of
time,
he
had
proposed
to
plant
at
least
1
lakh
saplings
annually
throughout
Tamil
Nadu.
Vikram
Like
other
stars,
Vikram
participated
in
an
event
organised
by
Siruthuli
Noyyal
Life
Centre.
He
had
planted
a
sapling
to
mark
the
inauguration
of
the
'Green
Corridor'.
