We face most of our health problems now-a-days due the increase of pollution in the Atmosphere !!! forgetting that we are the cause of it and also due to lack of awareness . Here is a simple solution to this problem .....
We have destroyed almost 79% of the forest cover that we had in the 19th Century (According to a recent survey). The remaining too is under serious threat of ruin.
Do we know that each one of us who live in this planet requires 625 square feet surface area of greenery to produce our daily oxygen needs ? O k its fine if u don't know it ... but the trees and plants in the forests are the largest and longest living things on Earth because they live much longer than animals and humans.
For an example , THE CALIFORNIAN GIANT SEQUOIA - It lives for more than 3000 years and the time taken to cut this tree is 3 hours. But it cannot be created again and we'll have to wait for another 3000 years to get back a tree of the same size and usefulness. So even planting of 3000 saplings cannot cutting down one single tree today.
The Trees and Plants in the forest are the silent and selfless servers that work non-stop 24 hours a day , 365 days a year , without a single second break. Tree foliage works as a natural air filter of particular matter such as dust , micro sized metals and pollutants such as ozone, nitrogen oxides, ammonia and sulfur dioxide's. They inhale carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen . Combined with the cooling effect of trees , these processes can have a significant impact on reducing smog and overall pollution in the atmosphere . A healthy urban forest can have a strong influence on our region's water quality . Tree canopies and root systems slow and reduce storm water runoff, flooding and erosion . They also help in filter water run off reducing potential sources of water pollution into our rivers and storm drains.
Four trees planted around a home can save up to 30 % on Summer cooling costs. Just 40 trees remove 80 pounds of air pollutants annually .No denying the fact that the forest cover of the whole world has drastically depleted over a period of time owing to the human needs and activities.
We the inhabitants of earth , have reached the stage where we need to re- design and re- consider our lifestyles for further survival on this planet. If we want the generations to look forward to a healthy and green earth , then we really have to change our self at the earliest .
THIS IS WRITTEN WITH A SMALL HOPE TO CREATE A LITTLE AWARENESS ----
but not to hurt anyone.
