Why To save trees
Hey everyone !!!
Did you know that each one of us requires 625 square feet surface area of greenery to produce our daily oxygen needs? That's reason enough to know more about these wonderful creations of God and the fate Man has pushed them into by his greed and carelessness. Trees are the largest and longest living things on earth and they live much longer than animals. The Californian Giant Sequoia, for example, may live for more than 3000 years. And do you know how long it will take to cut this down? Just 3 hours. But it cannot be created again and we'll have to wait for another 3000 years to get back a tree of the same size and usefulness. So even planting of 3000 saplings cannot justify cutting down one single tree today. Trees are silent and selfless servers that work non-stop 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, without a single second's break. They produce oxygen by a process called Photosynthesis whereby it absorbs harmful carbon dioxide and releases several thousands of rupees worth of life- giving oxygen free of cost. In fact all the oxygen in the air comes from only trees and other plants even if it is sold in "Oxygen Parlours"! The absorption of carbon dioxide that is a 'Green House' gas helps slow down Global Warming. If there is a steep depletion of forest cover, then the quantity of oxygen in the air is sure to go down. Not only as producers of oxygen are trees important in making the earth a more livable place: they act as very good sound barriers reducing noise pollution; and the green curtain reduces the force of wind, which otherwise will blow up so much dust and sand that we'll hardly be able to see who is next to us. Trees cool hot days and keep warm at nights.
