“The initial objective of the campaign aims to achieve the 100,000 trees targeted for in Ipoh City by 2030, which will be planted at the recreational park, main roads/protocol and spacious areas.
“Besides, the planting tree also assists in turning Ipoh City into a Low Carbon City whereby the planted trees are projected to reduce average temperature by 25 degrees Celsius in Ipoh City.
“The council is making sure the developers or businessman adhere to the rules of planting more trees either on landed or strata title properties.
“Other than planting trees, the council also uses LED lights and solar panel in street lightings, is another way to reduce the temperature of the City," he said.
