“A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land,
purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people.” ― Franklin D. Roosevelt
Environment refers to the natural surroundings and conditions in which we
live. Unfortunately, this Environment has come under serious threat. This
threat is almost entirely due to human activities. These human activities have
certainly caused serious damage to the Environment. Most noteworthy, this
damage risks the survival of living things on Earth. Therefore, there is an
urgent need to save the Environment. First of all, planting trees should be
given massive attention. Above all, a tree is the source of oxygen.
Unfortunately, due to construction, many trees have been cut down. This
certainly reduces the amount of oxygen in the environment. Growing more
trees means more oxygen. Hence, growing more trees would mean better life
quality.
Similarly, people must give attention to forest conservation. Forests are vital
for the Environment. However, deforestation certainly reduces the area of
forests around the World. The government must launch programs to conserve
the forests. The government must make harming forests a criminal offense.Soil
conservation is yet another important way to save the Environment. For this,
there must be control of landslides, floods, and soil erosion. Furthermore,
there should also be afforestation and tree plantation to conserve the soil. Also,
terrace farming and using natural fertilizers are some more ways.
First of all, the world climate will remain normal. Harming the Environment
and causing pollution have caused global warming. Due to this many humans
and animals have died. Hence, saving the environment would reduce gglobal
warming. The health of people would improve. Due to pollution and
deforestation, the health of many people is poor. Conserving the Environment
would certainly improve the health of people. Most noteworthy, saving
Environment would reduce many diseases. Trees contribute to a rich healthy
ecosystem. Animals, insects, birds, and fungi make their home in the trees and
make a diverse ecosystem. This balanced environment, in turn, contributes to
the betterment of human beings. Trees produce their own food and are found
at the bottom of the food chain. They produce their own food through a process
called photosynthesis and contribute significantly to the whole ecosystem.
Further, trees are a rich source of medicines that are used to heal our diseases
in a natural way as done Ayurveda.
Trees receive the rainwater and hold them in the land. This prevents clean
water from flowing and getting wasted in drains. Along with it they also act as
watersheds and hold the floodwaters for some time before slowly releasing
them into the earth and atmosphere. So, they maintain the water base of an
area and provides us with a water bed. The root system of the trees is so well
made by nature that it holds the soil underground from getting washed away
during rain and floods thus prevents landslides and soil erosion. Trees provide
clean air, water, and food to us. Its greenery and freshness also act as a stress
reliever for us. It gives a positive vibration in the atmosphere. Trees also
provide cool sheds during summers and during rains. Children also develop
good memory when surrounded by green trees. Patients recover easily when
comes in contact with greenery. There are a lot more things that tree provides
us for our better life.
Deforestation has resulted in the increase of carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is one of the main factors responsible for the
greenhouse effect. With the increase of such greenhouse gases, a new layer is
formed in the atmosphere. The newly formed layer traps the heat supplied
by the sun inside it. As a result, the temperature in the atmosphere increases
and ultimately results in global warming.
Trees have a lot of importance in our lives, and it provides seamless service for
the environment. we have somehow not protected them and perhaps that is
why as on today we are being affected by global warming, severe pollution and
other ill effects of deforestation. Trees should be treated and nurtured nicely
so that human beings can survive on this planet. We should encourage others
to plant more and more trees. It is for our own betterment and the sooner we
understand this the better it is for us. Even though trees are contributing a lot
for the betterment of human lives on earth, the ‘reward’ that they receive
from human beings is deforestation. Our unending greed for money has
made us all disregard the true worth of this natural resource. Mahatma
Gandhi once said, “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs, but
not every man’s greed.” It’s high time we realised the catastrophe we are
creating by cutting trees. Let’s be responsible human beings and start saving
trees, thereby protecting our mother earth. It is necessary we take steps to
put an end to this for a peaceful tomorrow. It’s high time we conducted
awareness campaigns and take up social initiative to save tress and protect
the environment.
The famous American author Munia Khan said, “Trees exhale for us so
that we can inhale them to stay alive. Can we ever forget that? Let us love
trees with every breath we take until we perish.” Let’s realise the actual
worth of trees and join hands to save tree and protect our mother nature .
