“Trees are the earth’s endless effort to speak to the listening heaven”
-Rabindranath Tagore
Have you ever had a nightmare where you woke up in a land with no trees? Can you possibly live in such an environment? If your answer is ‘No’, congrats! You got in right. You are dead before 10 seconds you reach there!
Shocking, right? But that’s the truth. If trees were not there, we would have not even existed on this planet. Life, on earth, would not have been possible if there would not have been any trees on earth. Trees are of so much importance to us as it is because of them that we get enough oxygen in the air to breathe.
Unfortunately, the uprooting of trees what we call as deforestation is destroying our environment. The uprooting of trees at mass levels has led to massive soil erosion which has led to floods as well as droughts in different areas of the world. Additionally, uprooting of trees has led to global warming. Additionally, deforestation has also led to depleting the ozone layer which is responsible to protect the harmful ultraviolet rays from reaching the earth.
It is of utmost importance for us to give their individual contribution to saving our dying angels. Finding an alternative to the use of wood for various purposes is one such method through which we can reduce the cutting down of trees.
Planting more trees is another small yet priceless contribution we all can do for our nature. For every tree uprooted we should plant 2 more trees so that to maintain the balance between urbanization and deforestation. Minimizing use of papers is another such effort which can help save trees in a big manner as papers are made from trees.
Together, we can hold hands to give a hand to our dying angles.
