Trees (and plants) are critically important in our lives and in the environment.
Trees are the basis of sustaining life on earth and have a right to exist to ensure that most animals and humans can continue to survive on this planet. All of us have a duty to nurture and protect them whenever we can.
They are the key to the sustainability of human life on this planet, by providing humanity with the basis for all of our food as well as some of our medicines, shelter and water.
No tree should be removed without it being replaced. Deforestation and the removal of vegetation are two of the major causes of global warming, severe pollution and other catastrophic effects of climate change.
We should encourage others to plant more and more trees for our own betterment and for the health and well-being of future generations.
