After being spotted sitting in his mobile tiny garden, or rickshaw, a man went viral on the internet. Because the summer is going to be scorching, the rickshaw driver grew grass on his rickshaw’s roof and finished the new look with some potted plants to keep the heat at bay.

Erik Solheim, the former Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme, was impressed by the creative makeover and posted the photo on Twitter.

“This Indian man grew grass on his rickshaw to stay cool even in the heat. Pretty cool indeed!,” he wrote.

Indians are one of the most innovative people, it's just that our talents often go unrecognised, at times even claimed as their own by foreigners 😉 .

I'm sure everybody finds d summer to be hotter n winter to be colder than earlier times.#SaveSoil to mitigate climate change. Bringing back 3-6% organic content in soil can have multitude of benefits. Food &water security, carbon emissions'll be taken care of if v revitalize soil https://t.co/npW7TjUFRV

We need more rickshaws, roads, streets and even colonies like this. 50 Degrees temperature is a #Newnormal now. We need to take more steps like this to stop it.

That's actually very innovative, other rickshaw drivers should also do that cause its April and temperature is already above 42 degrees ?
