GREEN is the call
First of all I want to ask you a question. Just think for 2 minutes & try to answer. If you can’t, then don’t worry, just carry on with reading.
So my question is what happens if there were no trees on planet earth?
This answer is not perfect. This may or may not happen. This is just an hypothesis made with the help of some scientific data.
Trees absorb carbon dioxide. So no trees means more and more carbon dioxide is loose in the air. More carbon dioxide means an increased greenhouse effect, which leads to global warming. Temperature may increase by many times. Take for the current situation, the temperature has risen to record heights, which has led people to confine to air-conditioned cubicles. So just imagine what will happen when there is few more rise in mercury level.
Rainforests cover only about 7 percent of the world's surface. However, within this 7 percent live almost half of all plant and animal species on earth. Some of these species only live in small specific areas. As the landscape changes, some plants and animals are simply unable to survive. Species from the tiniest flower to large orangutans will become extinct. So our future generations will be able to see these animals only through internet & other kinds of media’s… !!!
Absence of trees also affects indigenous people, both physically and culturally. Because many indigenous people actually have no legal rights to the land on which they live, governments that want to use the forest for profit can actually "evict" them. As these populations leave the rainforest, they also leave their culture behind.
If you think that you can adjust & get well with these miserables, then you are absolutely wrong.
No trees means no oxygen & more and more of carbon dioxide. Which means you are dead… !!!
If you think you can survive with the oxygen masks & other gadgets. Just think that you are not the only one strugglig to survive on earth. Within no time your artificial oxygen supply will also get finished.
So no trees means no humans…
Ok, now lets come back to normal. With the current rate of deforestration, the above mentioned state will be reached within no time. So its wise to act now itself.
Adopt a tree... Just like having a pet, grow a tree & take care of it.
PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE.
