It all started from the idea of planting few trees in our surroundings and soon became "Sheen Pekhawar" which was then extended to "Sheen Khyber Pukhtunkhwa". When we started contacting people to motivate them to take part in the plantation campaign, we were amazed by the positive response given by people. Soon we were in contact with great volunteers from different areas. FATA was one of the areas where residents have a keen interest in plantation. Volunteers of FATA showed great commitment and enthusiasm. Students of different schools and colleges participated actively in the campaign. Now by the grace of Al mighty Allah, we are in a position to extend and manage the program not only in KPK but also in FATA. So the program is renamed to "Sheen Watan".

REDA is looking for participants, donors, volunteers, advisers for their proposed project of GREEN REVOLUTION 2012.
Details of the proposal are;
Introduction
According to 1998 census, Peshawar is the highest populated district of Khyber Pukhtunkhwa. It is also an industrial hub of the province. These industries and millions of vehicles used by the locals’ emit toxic gases that have a negative impact on the environment. A steep loss in the number of trees and plants is also noticed in Peshawar and its peripheries due to new roads. To attain the environmental equilibrium, a highly proactive plantation campaign is needed; in which communities/students/businessmen and locals are mobilized and encouraged to actively participate.
Objective:
1. To plant 100,000 saplings of different species in District Peshawar and FATA through plantation campaign “Green Revolution 2012”.
2. Awareness campaigns among locals regarding environmental issues; causes, effects and actions.
