Posted on March 26, 2022 by KS News Desk | Last updated on March 26, 2022

A four-year-old girl from Hazratbal, Srinagar, Filza Faheem on Friday pledged to plant more trees across the Kashmir Valley.
While kick-starting #FridaysForFuture event in Kashmir, Filza tweeted, “I started alone with the hope that more people will join.” Filza has been planting varieties of trees across the valley since she was three year old.
The #FridaysForFuture is a youth-led and organised movement that began in August 2018, after 15-year-old Greta Thunberg and other young activists sat in front of the Swedish parliament every schoolday for three weeks, to protest against the lack of action on the climate crisis. She posted what she was doing on Instagram and Twitter and it soon went viral.
