“THOSE WHO GET THE
REAL HAPPINESS BY SERVING THE MANKIND ARE THE REAL STUDENTS OF THE WORLD FOR
KNOWING THE ACTUAL VALUE OF THE REAL FRIENDSHIP OF A PLANT WITH US.”
Nobody
in the world can say that -"he/she has not a true relationship or a true
friendship with someone", because there is someone in the world who have bound each & everyone by keeping helping hands towards us. This true friend is
present in the world only to :
- · help us as a true friend
- · love us as a true lover
- · care us as a care-taker
- · teach us as a best teacher
- · make us understand what we are.
One and only plants are those true friends of us, because they have the capability to maintain above 5 responsibilities. It is a real fact; just we have to feel it through a sound & good heart.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TREES & ENVIRONMENT
Everything that
influences an organism & its living process from outside is collectively
known as ENVIRONMENT. The
environment encompasses virtually everything that surrounds an organism in a
holistic ecological approach. Presence of trees is good for the environment.
They are the source of oxygen. They inhale carbon dioxide & exhale oxygen
without which the survival of living beings is not possible on earth. Commonly
we know that without plants our life is like a static and dead body, because we
are not able to eat sunlight directly. Only plants use this sunlight to grow
and produce various macro molecules like carbohydrates, proteins, etc. which is
required for our metabolic reactions to go on. At the same time, plants produce
a gas called oxygen as a waste product, which is luckily for us and other animals because we need it for breathing.
HOW TREES BLESS US?
Trees bless us in
many ways….They-
1. Exhale the life giving gas- oxygen
1. Exhale the life giving gas- oxygen
2. Are
a boon for the birds & wild life.
3. Help
in landscaping
4. Are the most important part of economy
5. Maintain
biodiversity
6. Provide
wood , rubber , other raw materials for manufacturing various goods
7. Provide
fruits , leaves, serve food for all
PRESENT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TREES & US
Even though trees
offer so many benefits and are extremely important for maintaining the
ecological balance, we are cutting them ruthlessly. Tree plantation is
essential to compensate for the loss of environment.
A prominent quote
reads “Imagine if trees gave off wifi signals we would be planting so many
trees, we would probably save the plant. Too bad they only produce oxygen we
breathe.”This quote tells us how we are dependent on technology completely and
do not understanding & considering what the real importance of plants is.
In today’s world a man can cut down a plant to establish a home, club, and cell
phone –base stations but will not try to use his time & effort to plant a
tree and to help earth to live and stay better.
WHAT SHOULD WE DO TO SAVE OUR ENVIRONMENT?

SOME PEOPLE CARE PLANTS AS THEIR BODY PART |
SOME PEOPLE DON'T CARE PLANTS |
Human beings are
the only organisms who try to rectify their mistakes after doing the mistake
and also try to be aware from it and to leave it by making it correct . But
unfortunately we all use the helpful plants for our benefit & save them
while some people don’t try to save them to save our environment as they are
not concern about it. They just don’t think it as their mistake so they are not
concern about this big mistake properly, for which they are not trying to
rectify & correct it and also not trying to understand and predetermine the
bad effect of it. So first of all we all
have to change our narrower thought into a broader & moral one to become a
true friend of plants. We should make people concern about the environment and
the importance of trees in it. By doing it we can save our earth.
According to :CPR Environmental
Education Centre, Chennai
1. Planting
trees is one of the most important things you can do to save the environment.
It takes about 625 square feet surface area of vegetation to produce the daily
oxygen requirement of one person. Even people living in big, bustling cities
can play a vital role in greening their environment. Here are some simple,
cost-effective ways by which you can plant a tree, and do your little bit to
green your world.
2.If
you have a big enough garden, plant trees, for they can cool your homes
considerably.
3. Select
appropriate plants to suit your garden and the climatic conditions. Your local
nursery or horticultural society can help you.
4. If your garden is
too small for trees, have plants and creepers instead. Every green plant helps
to reduce the carbon dioxide we are letting out into the atmosphere.Garden plants are better than a lawn for
absorbing carbon dioxide. So when you plan your garden, opt for extra space for
plants rather than for a lawn.
5. If your city or
garden lacks water for gardening, plant drought-resistant plants like cacti,
flowering shrubs, etc.
6. If
you live in an apartment, grow a terrace or balcony garden using potted plants.
Window boxes can be used to grow small flowering
plants which also add to the beauty of your apartment. Try and use discarded
materials to make your boxes.Keep indoor plants in the house, they can lessen
indoor air pollution.Compost your leaf waste to avoid use of chemical
fertilizers.
7.Do
not present flower bouquets. Instead, give a potted plant and encourage your
friends to grow plants.
8. Start a tree planting programme in your area. Plant on roadsides, in parks, in schools, factories and home.

9. If you see trees
being cut down on the street, report it immediately to the concerned
authorities. Most environmental problems arise due to public apathy.
10. Make saving trees a
personal commitment.Conserve paper, conserve trees, save nature.
11. When you buy
furniture, find alternatives to wood. You will be saving some of our
precious
forests.
12. Saving
paper is saving trees.Use paper carefully; write on both sides of a
sheet.
13. Save
envelopes, old letters and junk mail. Use this when you need paper.
14. Do not use paper towels and tissues in household cleaning activities. Instead, use old towels, sheets and pillow case.

15. Do not use paper plates
and tissues or paper decorations when you hold a party.
16. Do not collect
unnecessary pamphlets and leaflets just because they are free.
17. Use cotton
handkerchiefs rather than paper tissues.
18. Avoid sending
greeting cards. Every year countless trees are cut down for them.Reuse cartons and gift wrapping paper.Use recycled paper whenever possible.
19. Start Eco-clubs in
schools which will take up projects in the locality.
CONCLUSION
In this living world everyone just runs towards
the technology for our own benefit and self-development. Besides it, some
people are unconsciously doing some childish work but not trying to understand
and feel what will be the bad impact and effect of these works on the silent
speakers that are trees. It is just like a chain which is being grown and
transferred from a generation to generation. If this chain remain unbroken up
to some extent then a time will come at which we will be seeing our earth
without a green smile. So we should remember that,
“IF YOU SAVE TREES THEN YOU SAVE YOUR ENVIRONMENT; IF YOU SAVE YOUR ENVIRONMENT THEN YOU SAVE THE EARTH AND COMING GENERATIONS.” - Debasis Dash
