Plant A Tree

In the recent years, development of the cities has reached to its highest peak. Though we are building skyscrapers and factories and manufacturing millions of vehicles, very little attention has been given to planting trees. It is a matter of surprise that though the importance of a trees in our life is well known and accepted by everyone, very few persons have taken initiative to add more trees to the environment.

If you have any doubts, let us share some of the benefits the trees provide:

Produce Oxygen:

It is the most commonly known fact that Plants releases oxygen into the environment; an element, which is essential for the survival of every living being. It is a fact that a mature tree can produce so much oxygen in a season that 10 people uses in a year.

Clean the soil:

Trees can filter sewage and other chemical which are emitted from various factories. Trees reduce the impact of animal wastes and sometimes convert the toxic chemicals into non toxic ones. This way it acts as a soil cleaning agent.

Control Noise pollution:

Trees are very good at absorbing noises. That is way it is always recommended to plant trees near by airports and other places where there are lot of noise happening.

Slowdown Catastrophe:

Impact of a catastrophe such as storms can be minimized by a forest. If the storm passes through a bare land its impacts increases dramatically.

Clean air:

Trees also act as air cleanser. Impurities in the air such as carbon-monoxide, Sulfur-di-oxide etc got absorbed by the trees and provide much pure air.

Carbon sinks:

We all know about global warming and its impact worldwide. Trees reduce the amount of Carbon Di Oxide in the air by trapping them in the form of food and wood. So we can say they are the store house for carbon.

Provide shade:

It is known to every one that trees provide shade. It helps in controlling heat in the surrounding. Having a tree in your nearby, will definitely reduce the need of air conditioners in the summer for you.

Prevents Soil erosion:

Tree roots bind soil together. Uprooting a tree can severely increases the chances of soil erosion. Tree leaves also acts as a barrier between the free flowing rain and the soil. Thus the speed of the rain is reduced and so as the soil erosion.

Increases property value:

Talking in pure monetary term, having trees in your house particularly in the form of a garden definitely increases the monetary value of your property.

So if you realize the importance of a planting a tree, lets share how easy it is to plant:

First dig a hole of about 1feet deep. Put the plant (after removing from its container) into the hole. Put the extracted soil, little bit into the hole, and mix some compost along with the rest of the soil and put it into the hole. Pack the hole with this mixture. Remove any weed near by to the plant. Water the plant.

It is the duty of every person to plant at least a tree and give back something to our nature from where we are taking so many things.
