Topic: Do we really plant trees? (Read 721 times)

There is nothing wrong with that, wishing to support an organization which wants to help to save the environment, the flora and fauna but you also need to do some due diligence on the organizations and agencies before you give away your hard earned dollars to them, you know. There are legitimate ones which operate on a non-profit base and they only use the money for good deeds and to pay for their operating costs, but there are also organizations which take advantage of the good will of people to take as much money as possible and under-deliver on their initial promises.
For example, PETA is one of the most infamous organizations which is supposed to seek for the well being of animals and the wild fauna as well, even though the are one of the biggest ones, their methods are nefarious and frown upon by most of reasonable people on the internet.

So,.do your own investigation and do not give your money to scammers.

If actually planting of trees was going to do the magic and save us the planet, then why are the governments all around the world not adding it in their yearly budget? They are busy shouting plant trees yet they are not making any efforts to reduce what's actually causing the global warming. Planting of trees wont be effective anywhere, they are just saying that to divert our attention. Well I won't stop anyone from believing that planting of trees will reduce the temperature. But you can Plant all the trees and don't reduce the emissions of carbon into the atmosphere and see if the temperature will reduce. For us to see practical results since the people are not planting trees, let the government reduce emissions of carbon into the atmosphere. Can they do that?

Sometimes I want to support Greenpeace, knowing what our future holds.

I agree. The root causes need to be searched for and removed.

You can't just say vague stuff like that, topping that it with insane explanations about it and say "research it yourself", and somehow adding vaccines to the mix. That doesn't make anything true. Especially if your only source probably would be some some guy doing a tik-tok dance about it, or a debunked social media rumor from last year (like it is).

But yeah, i researched it for you:

Urbanization, which is supposed to be a good thing, has become the reverse. You know, cutting down trees to build industries, gas stations, and hotels, especially in my country, has become the order of the day. People now neglect the fact that trees in the environment help clean the oxygen we breathe, and they can't compensate for the large amounts of fossil fuels people burn.

My country is in a situation where, if you have a generator, you need to buy fuel, which emits carbon and harmful gases into the environment. Few people plant trees, while many cut them down. In cities, all you hear is noise from numerous cars and fossil fuel consumers. However, when you visit rural areas, you experience serenity and peace due to the abundance of trees. The air becomes cooler.

Indeed, it goes beyond simply saying "plant trees." The government needs to speak out more about environmental issues and establish regulations. There should be rules governing how many trees can be cut down in a given area for development. Authorities should question those cutting down trees about their right to do so.

We often overlook these issues, treating them as trivial. However, addressing them significantly helps the environment mitigate global warming and climate change. We really need to pay attention to these matters, trees are more just for beautification but they have significant positive environmental impacts.

People see tree as a treat to the environment expecially the ones close to peoples houses, but trees are essential they are good to be planted
I have been planting flowers in our environment due to rate high temperature during this period in my country the temperature is always high people who feel comfortable are those that has air conditioner there environment.
Most people has cut down trees around there environment due to danger of not damaging the houses but they have lack the idea of planting flowers which will also help to keep a better environment.

Planting trees is not enough, it is necessary to reduce the emissions of enterprises all over the planet.

Currently, the world's temperature is increasing unbearably. In other words, the world's climate has changed. Due to which people around the world are facing various situations. Such as untimely rainfall and cyclones and reduced agricultural production. The main reason for all this is the cutting and destruction of trees worldwide.

On the other hand, planting trees is essential if we want to maintain the world's climate. Due to which we have been seeing posts of planting trees on various social media for many years. As far as I know, we all talk about it verbally but no one has time to work.

If everyone's words and deeds were the same, then suddenly such a climate change in the world would not have happened

Planting trees is really important. Planting trees is a common practice worldwide, which often solves environmental problems. Humans need O2 to survive. Not all people in the world can afford to use artificial O2. We get natural things for free. So we should plant more trees.

But the rate of increase is slowing down. Soon the temp will be decreasing.

We don't want the trees because they they eat CO2. We need more CO2 so that we get more global warming. Besides, we can use the CO2 to grow more farm crops.

At least you have to option to "offset" your flight C)2 emissions now, but individual choice may just not be enough if US and China are permanently absent from the Climate summits. Planting trees as such is not going to take us anywhere and  they are not the biggest carbon sinks in the planet as such.

In the ned, while so many interests in US and China are against doing something decent for the planet, individual actions or smaller countries actions are getting nowhere.

As a result of the government's action, it is difficult to make the habit of planting trees among the people. Due to social negligence we are polluting the environment by cutting trees. Even deforestation is one of the main causes of environmental pollution due to unplanned population growth. We have to create habitats by cutting trees for additional habitats for the increased population. Few unscrupulous people are reducing the number of trees from the environment by deforestation. We are destroying the environment due to unplanned urbanization and ignorance.

Forest cover is expanding in developed countries and shrinking in developing countries.  Any questions?

Your comment is very timely.  Planting trees will be an effective way to reduce the effects of global warming on the earth.  It is not just a private initiative or a social initiative, a strong step must be taken by taking effective initiatives of the government.  If the awareness of tree planting increases, everyone will carry out the activity in his real life.  If everyone sincerely participates and takes strong initiatives from the government, natural calamities will be prevented.

Encouraging the entire society to plant trees together is a very complex task but not impossible. Almost all of us know the benefits of planting trees and also know that it will help our planet reduce greenhouse gases and prevent air pollution. But even then we are so vulnerable to urbanization that we cut down all the surrounding vegetation and build structures with concrete. But if we can be aware of our place and enhance our own beauty by planting trees, the people around us can be inspired by it.

People in the society do not understand that the beauty of nature in an environment lies on lively green elements such as plants.
It does not only exist as a hedge to the high temperature of the climate which we humans are being responsible causing such a disasterous weather conditions by ourselves and yet they ignores the potential outcomes of cutting down trees without replacement all because of agriculture and Urban developments.

I have already planted mine which we can see from the sunset reflection that the plants is already giving shelters for relaxation during high tempered weather.
Not just that but has also given the environment beautification.
People really need to figure the natural service planted trees could offer to mankind.
                

Planting if trees does play an Important role in the environment but I still don't believe that it woudl help reduce the gree house effect, buy sure it can help the total supply of oxygen in an area to increase, do you know how long it takes for some carbon compound gases to heat up and break down into carbon again for plants to breath or rather use for photosynthesis, the solution to reduce green House effect can never be more tress that's all bullshit to me, tress serve their purpose but that's not to reduce green house effect, just imagine the amount of carbon waste coming out from industries and buying of fossil fuel, trees are good but not a permanent solution, you know what I'm thinking .

There is no substitute for trees for clean air, pure oxygen. Trees give us fruits, provide shade, shelter trees and become shelters for animals and creatures.  We cut trees indiscriminately without giving any importance to these things. We build houses and furniture by clearing forests.  Habitat is also being created there by cutting down the mountain trees.  Instead of cooling the environment naturally, we think of cooling the environment artificially by applying AC.  As a result of which the amount of carbon is increasing excessively. The ozone layer is leaking. A healthy person takes in 7 to 8 liters of air per minute.  Air takes 11,000 liters in a day. In this way we take 550 liters of oxygen every day through the air.   But we don't pay any attention to them and just talk big.  As a result, our future generations will fall into more terrible natural disasters, where there will be floods and storms every now and then.  As a result of global warming, the ocean floor will be submerged in water.  I am a nature lover personally. I like trees very much.  I myself bought a piece of land and planted various fruit trees there.  Let us plant trees thinking about nature and thinking about our future generations.  We don't just say the word, we implement it.

We need to plant more if trees in our environment so that we can make the world green again making the atmosphere purity with the oxygen that is excited from green plants. If we keep planting more trees in our locality, there will be more photosynthesis that will be carried out by green plants  to increase the percentage of the actual oxygen around our environment. We need plantation f green plants for us to have more oxygen rather carrying out deforestation which do kill and reduce the process of photosynthesis. The level of carbon monoxide in the atmosphere is already becoming a threat to us and we all need to try and fix the error.
