Earth's temperature is slowly increasing. The gradual increase in the temperature of the earth is called global warming. An example of a natural disaster caused by global warming is flash flooding. As the temperature of the earth increases, the polar ice melts, resulting in flash floods. Also, various other natural disasters occur. Planting trees can prevent global warming. Lately I have been seeing a lot of posts on social media about planting trees. But the matter has become such that the number of posts about planting trees is more than planting trees. We all understand that only planting trees can save us from such natural calamities. But we ask ourselves how many trees we have planted till date. We only say by mouth that plant trees but there are people in the world who have not planted a single tree in their life. Therefore, it should be shown in reality, not just in words. And I think that strong action should be taken by the government about planting trees.
Planting trees is very important because it will really help the environment. The amount of heat we are facing in my country has forced many people to sleep outside their homes at night. However, the solution doesn't only depend on afforestation but there is a need to control deforestation. The rate at which trees are cut down in my location is very alarming and the reason is that the government has no policy on curbing incessant cutting down of trees.
Personally this winter or 2023/2024 I have planted approximately 130 Trees and will
be adding a further 40 in this coming winter season. Apart from 2 they are all native to
my country, some are fast growing, and some not so fast.
Sadly I have not planted any tree in fourteen years. The last tree I planted was when I was a student and it was compulsory. It's great to know that you have planted so many trees that have contributed to the balance of our environment. The only problem that is restricting me from planting currently is space. I live in an overcrowded city, where almost all the land space has been occupied by buildings. Maybe I might consider planting outside the city because I want to be part of this mission to save our planet.
