The PlantatónHN initiative, backed by Televicentro and Emisoras Unidas, distributed 4,500 saplings across Honduras's two largest cities while launching electronic-waste collection to advance reforestation and environmental education.

The Los Laureles and La Concepción dams that supply Tegucigalpa hold just 27.48% and 24.67% of capacity respectively as of September 24, keeping water rationing in effect across the capital with service cycles reaching up to 12 days.

Plantatón HN handed out more than 3,500 free seedlings to residents of Tegucigalpa on Sunday, with plans to continue monthly distributions through November to boost reforestation and environmental awareness.
