How I Handle my CARBON FOOTPRINT | The Biggest sin of 21st century | Sonam Wangchuk Ladakh

- Join Sonam Wangchuk in Ladakh, to pay our voluntary carbon tax to nature…
sankalptaru.or...
Sankalp Taru joins Hands with Himalayan Institute of Alternatives, Ladakh…
Dear friends,
Our lives have become overly complicated. The cars we drive the imported goods we buy and most
notably the flights we take… all add to the dark footprints we leave on the planet. Because of this in
Ladakh our glaciers are melting away, causing alternating droughts and floods and in coastal areas, millions of habitats are being drowned.
While stopping these activities is the best solution, but more practical would be to reduce the activities and plant trees to absorb the carbon we still release. I have understood that the best way is to plant trees… I have been offsetting my carbon footprint for the last 3 years by helping village communities in the Kargil region of Ladakh plant thousands of trees.
While this helps build vegetational assets for the communities it also stabilizes the soil and absorbs heavy rainfalls in high valleys and secures them against frequent flash floods and releases the water slowly to help solve the drought problem also. A big bonus in this unique programme is that it also helps the village enhance its human resource through better education of their children.
Here’s How It Works!
Normally it is believed that one tree can absorb roughly 250 Kgs of CO2… which is also the amount of CO2 equivalent emission caused by a passenger on a short one-hour flight. In other words one tree per short flight to offset this carbon emission. On average planting and nurturing one tree in Ladakh costs roughly 175 rupees so this would be the minimum carbon tax we should set aside for a short flight if we want to neutralize our footprint.
Every time I take a domestic flight I set aside twice the price of the ticket as the carbon offset fund. This however means 25 to 100 trees per flight, assuming that many other passengers in the plane might not do their bit to offset their footprint.
How it does more than carbon offset.
Most villages in Ladakh organize Winter Camps for the children in their village during the winter vacations, to help the children continue learning in the vacations and to help them learn various skills and life skills that schools often do not teach. Most parents have a problem paying for the
expenses of such camps. But I realized that they have problems paying in conventional currencies, however, they could pay in the green ‘currency’ of trees, in fact, even children could contribute to this and learn at the same time.
So in this way, the villagers plant trees on common lands and I contribute an amount per tree. This could range from 100 to 200 rupees depending on the type of tree and terrain etc. If a village plants 1000 trees they would get 100,000 to 200,000 rupees, partly at the time of plantation and partly after
ensuring the survival of the trees, after one year. With this money, the village organizes facilities like heating, furniture, teaching aids, and of course teachers and mentors for winter camps.
Another bonus!
This plantation campaign also helps realize the vision of Carbon Neutral Ladakh, a call given by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India.
How Can You Join the Cause!
we can all start taking responsibility for our actions and set aside a carbon tax on nature. While for me it was quite a challenge to find the place and people to plant trees on my behalf and use the amount to invest in the next generation, for you we have tried to simplify it all. You can just click some
buttons here at this site and we and our partners Sankalp Taru will do the rest. I thank my friends at Sankalp Taru for being there and doing this kind of facilitation for several years now.
Looking forward to a greener and happier future for all

That is why studying is important.... in ages of 16 all start preparing of jee/neet becoming engineer/doctors/scientist,etc but we are busying in playing games like pubg becoming stupid things.... nothing but nonsense..

We all have to become like Sonam Wangchuk
Don't say we want more gems in India like him

@@mujtab8siddiqu1 don't say I'm Gem of India
Say I'm Kohinoor of India 😀
Exactly, just imagine if even few people from every village/town/city start to remove their carbon footprints in whatever way possible. The impact will be magnanimous.
Don't skip ads on this channel. It's the best way we can contribute to Sonam Sir's initiatives 🙏
Yes, I won't !
There is no connection between monetization & skipping ads. Whatever you do, skip the ad or watch it, TH-cam pays the same amount...
@@RocksFan thanks for informing us !
@@sunnyjoseph558 welcome🙏🇮🇳
So please don't skip ads on this channel 🙏🏻
So that's why we don't want to lose this 💎. Many people comment in recent videos mocking the Word Gem given to Sonam wangchuk. They are too ignorant to understand Sonam Wangchuk, ladakh, and contribution of ladakh....
Genuine person he is ,, seriously thinking abt consequences of carbon emmision
...unlike any other person...
Gud job sir
The best way to cut down carbon footprint is to not have kids. You cut down the carbon emissions of an entire individual
@@AashayChaukekar Yeah, kids are not eco friendly :D
It's unbelievable that we have such an honest sincere person in India solving problems,ice stupas army warm tent and now planting trees salute to the real hero!!
🙏
We need more people like Mr. Sonam. He is a great visionary.
We don't need more..
One Sonam Wangchuk is enough..
All we need is more people follow Sonam Wangchuk and do whatever Sonam Wangchuk want us to do..
Did u ever planted a tree in your life..!?
If yes then plant more trees if no then u r the dishonest human to nature..!!
We should take a pledge to plant trees as much as we can!!
Take a pledge here how many trees are u going to plant this year!!

This world need this type of innovative ideas.
U r a great person.
You are messenger of God 💜 Glad that you are bron in Ladakh ❤️ Hope that whole world will follow your path🙏
My dad planted a neem tree outside my house.the tree has grown bigger n front house lady created ruckus as in winter dry leaves falls all around n then it irritates her..so she forced my dad to cut it...my dad negotiated n paid ₹300 to chop few branches...feel sad .when will we grow up?
These people are happy with plastics lying all over the place and they don't mind it but dry leaves (which is perfectly natural) irritates them. When will these people learn and start to respect the nature which feeds and nourishes them.
Its great that you are not like her is the best thing. The generation ahead is the future, its very difficult to change anyone verbally. Try ignoring them. Just act where ever needed and it will impact someday.
Instead of paying her to chop a few branches,you could have paid her to have her front lawn swept.
You are doing the noblest and greatest job for the mother nature....
You are an inspiration...
Kudos to the villagers of Karith Kargil.... Hope other villages of Kargil will get inspire....
Lots of love from Kargil Ladakh ❤️💚
What everyone dreams to do you show and lead by example. Sonam Wangchuk you’re a true leader thank you so much 🙏🏽 generations of animal life and humanity will thank you

From Deccan plateau we too are trying our best , namaste sir
Amazing. Very inspiring! I will follow his footsteps.
So nice of u Sonam 👍💐
We give very huge amount of tax to government but it should be given to nature only. Because food, water, air, land and even our health are gift of nature.
You're shadow of Kalam sir, true gem of the nation. The whole nation should follow your thoughts and deed.
Sir you should also invite public fund, you can establish "online fund " So every body want to join this
Thank you Sonam ji for spreading the words about Carbon Neutrality..👍
Virat kohli should learn from this, he uses private jet and give knowledge of pollution in diwali
Yes
This is not his fault entirely..........if he starts using public transport , fans always gather around him , start taking selfies , asking questions many more things ........... people's attitude towards celebrity needs to change..........same virat kohli walks in Street in foreign countries no one distrub them ........
Gyan dene se intellectual ban jate dude.
How dare you 😅
Why not you people tweet on such type of celebraties. That will definitely I hope make a change.
Great Indian I salute you sonam sir
Love from New Zealand sir ♥️
You are so inspiring! Jai Hind
I wish our government would now support your marvellous initiative for changing Ladakh so that they can be implemented rapidly . Your ideas are so filled with life bcz they are hope to bring our ecosystem in their original beautiful form.
