Tree Plantation

Tree Plantation

Everyone knows that how important trees are for us and other organisms living on the earth. Trees improve air quality, prevent water pollution and soil erosion, provide a habitat for wildlife and shield life on earth from ultraviolet rays. Planting trees has become need of the hour so that we can save our planet for the future and improve our present day life too. Thus by planting trees, kids can bring a significant change in the environment for years to come.

Trees produce oxygen as the result of the process of photosynthesis that takes place in them. In this process, carbondioxide and sunlight are used up and oxygen is produced that is released into the air. There is thus a constant supply of oxygen from trees during daylight hours when photosynthesis occurs in trees.

It is this process that also keeps the levels of carbondioxide in the air at low levels. If trees are cut off carbondioxide levels go up. Carbondioxide being a greenhouse gas, the result is a warming up of the atmosphere. This phenomenon is known as global warming. It results in climate change that is affecting people around the world. The easiest way to combat global warming is to save trees and also grow more trees.

Trees are big source of food. Man and all herbivorous animals depend on trees for food. The edible parts of trees which include roots, stems, barks, leaves, flowers and fruits, feed and nourish various life forms. Vegetarians depend wholly on plant products for their food.

Trees in gardens and on avenues offer us pleasant and aesthetic surroundings. A walk in a forest is a very refreshing experience. Beautiful trees with colourful flowers and fruits are also home to varieties of birds and animals.

Trees are nature’s boon to us. We must therefore make all efforts to save trees for the life of our planet and all the life forms that inhabit it.

Trees also help us by providing us food. Not only does man, but all herbivorous creatures too, depend on trees for their sustenance. By cutting off trees we harm ourselves. It is therefore important to save trees.
