Trees

Trees are a valuable resource that is very beneficial for the whole world.
Trees are very useful for building houses, as a source of oxygen, as a source of entertainment, and as a partner in symbiotic relationships between other plants and animals.

Importance of trees

Trees provide us with oxygen, healthy air, food, medicine and habitat for wildlife. We get many important things from trees like wood, grass, gum, resin, rubber, fiber, silk, tannin, latex, bamboo, cane, catechu, betel nut, oil, color, fruits, flowers, seeds etc.

Trees also play an important role in controlling the climate, preventing soil erosion and protecting biodiversity.

That is why it is very important to preserve and protect trees and forests for future generations.

Benefits of trees

We all need oxygen to breathe. We get oxygen from trees.
Trees clean the air and prevent dust and smoke from the air. Trees provide us shade.

Trees help in preventing climate change. Trees work the greenhouse effect. Trees reduce the risk of storm rain. Trees increase groundwater supply.

Trees improve air quality. Trees reduce temperature. Trees provide shelter. Fruits, seeds and flowers of trees are used for food, medicine, and decoration.

Food of trees

Plants make their food with the help of chlorophyll in the presence of sunlight by taking some minerals and water from the soil and carbon dioxide from the air.

All the leaves of trees have stomata. Trees can take in gases and release gases through these pores. Thus, trees breathe.

Lets me tell about a story

Manav was a nature lover. He did not have any children of his own. He loved trees and plants very much.

Whenever he saw someone cutting a tree, he could not tolerate it and would kill him. In this way, he kept trying to stop nature from cutting even a single tree.

Once he got the news that some businessmen were cutting trees in the forest and taking them away. He immediately reached the forest and got very angry after seeing many cut trees there.

He tried to stop those people from cutting trees. When they did not listen, he killed everyone one by one.

He could not bear to see trees being cut at all.

After many years of marriage, his wife became pregnant. He was very happy to hear this news.

One day he saw his wife grinding some poisonous seeds.

He asked, what are you doing?

His wife said, I am grinding these poisonous seeds so that the child growing in my womb dies.

Her husband said, but why are you doing this? After so long we have got this happiness.

His wife said, the way you kill people for cutting trees without thinking that they too will have a family, small children.

In the same way if someone kills you too then this child will become an orphan. That is why I want to kill him beforehand.

Manav understood his wife's point and from that day he stopped killing.

Even now he loved trees a lot but did not kill anyone.

He used to plant a few new trees every day. And made people aware of the "Plant trees, save lives" campaign.

Now he protected the trees by controlling his anger and telling people the benefits of trees.

Trees provide beauty to nature and help people relax and feel peaceful. They reduce stress and fatigue at the workplace to a great extent.

Trees provide privacy, enhance the view, reduce noise and glare and also enhance architecture.

Trees provide coolness to houses in summer. Felling of trees causes huge damage to the environment.
Therefore, we should not only avoid cutting trees but also plant more and more trees.

Now I inviting my friends. @vickyson @pea07 and @deepak94 @abi24 @sualeha @stef1 @fannyescobar
