save trees

ONE PERSON, ONE TREE


Trees are the greatest blessings of nature of all the living things inhabiting this earth. Trees are our best friends. Mother Nature in her infinite wisdom has gifted them to man to live in harmony with them and to be of great service to them.
Trees give us fruits, they provide important raw material for our industries. Industries provide employment to people. The wood for furniture, housing railway carriages and sleeper and ships comes from trees .Wood is also used for fuel and for making charcoal which is then used as fuel. Trees give us medicine herbs, rubber, spices, gum etc. Trees provide shelter to us and birds. In this way trees are extremely helpful to mankind. Trees have been great friends to human being for ages.
Trees keep the environment clean and healthy. They absorb harmful Carbon dioxide from air and fill the atmosphere with precious life sustaining Oxygen. In this way they reduce air pollution. Therefore trees are rightly called the lungs of nature. Trees retain humidity and attract rains. There will be no rain if there are no trees. Trees help to preserve soil fertility and prevent soil erosion. They prevent the fury of floods. In fact, all our basic necessities like air, water, food, clothing and shelter come directly from trees.
If there were no trees, there would be no rain and land would turn into a desert. Mankind would suffer for want of food, water, fresh air, etc. So we should ever remain grateful to trees. Our prime urgent duty should be to conserve existing traces and grow more trees. The reckless felling of trees and destination of forests should be made a crime punishable with the at most severity.
We must protect trees and thereby, protect our environment to protect ourselves. We should celebrate the world environment day by planting more trees. Each one of us must resolve to grow and protect at least one tree. Think for a while if everyone of us grows at least one tree, how green our planet would be one day. We must spread the great massage
SAVE THE TREES AND THEY WILL SAVE YOU’.
