Save trees

Save trees comes alongside save nature and save forests, in an effort towards nature conservation. Today because of the land degradation and claiming of land by man, the trees are in danger. Many species have disappeared and the forest cover has gone down. The climate change because of fewer trees is being experienced in many cities across the world. Existence of trees affects our lives in numerous ways, most of them positive. We must make the utmost effort not just to save trees but to plant more trees and grow more forests.

Even cities must find ways of planting trees in very bit of free open space.

Why save trees?

3. Trees provide shade, especially on a long stretch of road.
4. Trees absorb the polluted air and convert it to be fresh and breathable.
5. Greenery in the surroundings is a soothing influence, provided by trees.
6. Trees keep the soil bound around roots and thus the topsoil is prevented by being washed away.
