Increasing population and decreasing trees

                      It was found that an human being consumes an average of  550 litres of pure oxygen per day. Now just imagine how much he breathes in his entire life span. Its a well know fact that natural oxygen could be obtained only from trees. Now I am going to put some shocking figures in your mind. Yes, the number of trees that we cut annually amounts to 300 crores to 600 crores globally. Isn't it shocking??. Where are we going? We talk a lot about sustainability, we talk about planting more trees but the reality is too bitter for us to bear. So thats why I say that we are not even in the 11th hour but in the 11th hour 59th minute and 59th second. I recently saw this facebook post which would make us feel ashamed on our craze for the internet and downloads.

 

               Trees are renewable resources only when we plant 2 or more trees for each tree that we cut. Many big nations did this before to make use of tree for the production of various wood products such as doors, windows, paper and so on. But the problem now is that the compensation part is missing thereby making trees a non-renewable resource and you very well know where this will lead to. SUSTAINABILITY IS NOT A NEED BUT ITS A MUST. Imagine your children striving to get fresh air and water. Can you bear seeing this from the heaven?.I am sure that after your life in this planet, you will go to heaven because after reading this you are surely gonna act towards sustainability. The need is urgent and you surely have to act quickly now. Planting atleast one tree per month will do. Spread this thought to everyone you wish and BE A PART OF SUSTAINABILITY. We have to meet our increasing population and their needs so don't hesitate to act quickly otherwise it will be too late because trees need water and if there is no trees, where will you get water (rain) to plant trees??. 

              Some of you might live in cities so there may not be a place where you can plant a tree. So what? Don't hesitate just step down to a small village nearby where there is a lot of space. India is composed of 6.38 lakh villages so can't you find one nearby your residence?. Surely you can! If your mind tries to procrastinate then just think of your children striving for water and air, then surely you will do it.

             Don't stop after planting the tree sapling. Your duty is not yet over. The sapling needs your support to grow till it attains a age when it can meet the water needs on its own. You also need to protect it from cattle which may try to eat the sapling. For this purpose a cylindrical steel grating would be useful. 

            So its up to you now. I have sown the seed in your heart and its your duty to make it a big tree!!!
