This initiative, certified by the United States — United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), uses microalgae cultivated with the cooperation of Government College University Faisalabad to absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. The first EPA-certified Liquid Tree, initially in Pakistan — Faisalabad, will be relocated to Pakistan — Lahore. The project aims to install these artificial trees in major shopping malls and public spaces to improve air quality.
