Initially Farhan Masood started the Go Green Pakistan campaign at the start of August 2009. He started created custom display pictures for his friends and designed a green background image with the Pakistani flag (moon and star) on the display picture. This work is done by manually editing the photos using Adobe Photoshop. Then Talal Masood was the second person to join hands with Farhan and started this campaign on a bigger scale. Within just 5 days we made over 500 DPs and just after 2 weeks time (till 14th August, 2009) we created over 9000 display pictures, for the people all over Pakistan and even Non-Pakistanis for their facebook and twitter profiles. More volunteers started to flow in by that time and the very little thing became a huge thing and even the media couldn’t resist us.

On 13th August, 2009 – GEO News broadcasted the Interview of Farhan Masood (@farhanmasood) and Talal Masood (@tAALz), thanks to Maria Memon for making the report on us. (by the way don’t get confused, its just a coincidence that Farhan’s and Mine’s last name are same. Oh but we are Pakistanis so we are brothers.) Within these last 2 weeks, the whole Go Green Pakistan team made Facebook and Twitter entierly Green. Everywhere there was Pakistan’s flag and those who never cared were even forced by their inner being to become patriot and put the Go Green Pakistan display picture of themselves. The volunteers team is of two types, one who actually edited the pictures and the others are who promoted the Go Green Pakistan campaign in different ways.

Purpose of Go Green Pakistan was to establish the unity, love and faith back in the younger generation of Pakistan. No one on the media and around the world is showing the positive points of our country, so by this campaign those people who somehow stopped loving Pakistan are back on the track. We gave them a new hope in this era of technology, through technology and gave them an opportunity to show their love for Pakistan in a nice and unique way. On average 10% of Pakistan’s total population is now Online and using Internet, so this was our one step to make all those people love Pakistan who somehow just got stuck infront of the computer screens and are too lazy to do something to show their love for Pakistan.

People send us their pictures via a website called Pakiology donated to us by Alam (@alzeee). Users simply fill out the form with their photo and we receive them at our end. Then someone from our whole team, whoever is online at that time edits the picture and send them back to them through email.

Following is the list of all the Volunteers who participated in this campaign. Farhan and I; both are very much honored and thankful to all this team, because without them we just two were nothing.
