Trees have multiple of benefits — don’t destroy them, give to breed them

Value of a tree

Way back in 1979, Dr. T.M. Das of Calcutta University researched that the financial value of a tree, during a life span of 45 years, amounted to about $2,10,000 (at 1978 rates). This is on the amount of oxygen it releases, the fruit or the biomass and the timber it produces when felled and in this way. For every 1 gram that a tree produces as it grows, it produces about 2.65 grams of oxygen.

Admire trees, don’t axe them and plant them more

In stark contrast to their cruel attitude towards trees stand the examples of Sunderlal Bahuguna’s “chipko” movement, Saalumarada Thimmakka of Karnatak who has planted 397 trees — She felt like her own child, and Majid Khan and the team of biologists and horticulturists who giving offer “intensive care” (injecting insecticide mix in to the phloem of each branch of trees) to a 679 years old “pillalamarri” banyan tree near Mahabubnagar, Telangana place, spanning a 4–acre canopy , which is being eaten up by termites, and bringing it back to a beautiful life.
