More than 12 million saplings will be planted in the ground with train tickets

Uraloğlu made a written statement regarding the "Every Ticket is a Sapling, Our Love is Green Homeland Campaign", which was launched on November 11, 2025.

Reminding that the campaign was implemented with the protocol signed between the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry within the scope of the Green Homeland Mobilization, Uraloğlu stated that it was decided to plant a sapling on behalf of every passenger traveling by high-speed trains for a year.

Abdulkadir Uraloğlu noted that millions of journeys turned into a contribution to the "green homeland" within the scope of the campaign that ended today, and said, "More than 12 million passengers traveled with our high-speed trains in a one-year period within the scope of our Every Ticket is a Sapling Love for a Green Homeland Campaign. In this context, we will plant more than 12 million saplings in cooperation with our Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. We have combined high-speed train journeys with a meaningful step that contributes to the afforestation efforts of our country." he said.

Pointing out that high-speed trains are one of the important elements of environmentally friendly transportation, Uraloğlu stated that railway transportation contributes to the reduction of carbon emissions.

Minister Uraloğlu stated that the afforestation works will be carried out within the scope of the cooperation protocol of the two ministries and added:

"By choosing our high-speed trains, our citizens traveled both safely and comfortably and contributed to the protection of the environment. We made this environmentally friendly choice even more meaningful with our Every Ticket is a Love for a Sapling Green Homeland Campaign. We will notify the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of the total number of passengers traveling with our high-speed trains during the campaign by the end of November. Based on the number of certificates and SMS sent by our Ministry, sapling planting areas will be determined and implementation plans of afforestation activities will be prepared."
