How to plant very large no. of trees with participants ranging from kids to old people!

As we all know due to over population consumption of many basic needs is increased. It also includes oxygen from plants. So according to calculation it has been found that a person uses 16 plants in his/her lifetime. So everybody must plant minimum 16 plants in his/her life time.
We are helping people do the same just sitting at their home. We go to their place and tell them about WAYE(World Alliance for Youth Empowerment) which is a youth wing of 'Art of Living'. We've started "Great Green Project" in which we give sapling at every house and ask them to keep it with them and take care of the plant as if it is your own child as if they are adopting the plant for a month. In the process they may develop some attachment with it. After
a month they'll have to bring the plant at some hall and in that they can say goodbye to the plant and return it to us or they can keep it at their own place. If they return it to us we'll plant that little one in college campus,farmhouse etc. to make it a giant green God.
We got awesome response. Some people gave nice suggestions, some asked us that they can even donate trees from their garden. It was evident that even people with no Environmental studies as a subject feel a lot about environment. Old people were very enthusiastic about this project and said they'll be happy to help. Some old people who can't move out of their house also helped us as we assured them that
we will come to collect the plant if they cannot bring it. People like to participate in such easy projects...
Here's my plant, its neem tree. I'm gonna return it
as it grows very big.
