Aadavi: The World’s First Carbon-Neutral Baby
Aadavi will be carbon-neutral throughout her entire life.
She has been awarded this exemplary title by the Asia Book of Records.
Aadavi, a two-year-old girl from the Southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, has become the world's first carbon-neutral baby.
The toddler will be carbon-neutral throughout her life, as her parents, Dinesh and Janaga, have planted 6,000 trees around their home in Tamil Nadu, India. This means that the amount of carbon dioxide the baby girl produces through activities like breathing, playing, or growing up is completely balanced out by her parents' thoughtful vision.
Before starting a family on their own, the couple were already working towards making India more carbon-neutral by educating the masses about the significance of tree planting at a time when its population is exploding.

Towards this end, they founded an NGO called Seerakhu to drive India on the path of becoming a carbon-neutral nation. Within two years, they have planted 4,00,000 trees and helped regenerate forests and wildlife by exhorting others to do the same.
This is a perfect example of how individual actions can bring life to a country already bearing the brunt of overpopulation. The small efforts people make—even something as simple as planting a tree on your premises—can have a significant environmental impact. In this way, the world can fight climate change and enrich all forms of life on Earth.
