Question

Conversation between you and
nature

Answer 1

Tree: Hi, Human Being, How are you? I hope you are well.

Human Being: I am fine, thank you and how are you?

Tree: I’m not fine at all. I’m totally choked, burnt and very hungry.

Human Being: Choked, burnt and hungry? Why? How come?

Tree: Choked because of all the pollution, look at the number of cars, bikes and other vehicles on the road and all those fumes, I can’t breathe and look at me I’m drying away. And hungry because I haven’t been fed for years. And you people are so smart that you use the air conditioning to such a great extent that the heat generated is burning all the leaves and the trees are going bare. If the air conditioning use is reduced at night, the overall temperature will come down drastically. Do you even have a clue of what I’m saying?

Human Being: I can understand you’re being choked, the number of cars and all other vehicular traffic included it’s really bad and the air is totally polluted. We human beings are so many that it’s really getting crowded and there’s a big rush everywhere. What solutions do you suggest?

Tree: To begin with, you need to stop cutting us. You can’t live without us. You will die of extreme pollution and suffocation, if we don’t produce fresh oxygen for you to breathe. That shade providing activity is no more important. Next you will have to reduce your use of air conditioning, reduce the use of your vehicles. I have noticed that even if you have to buy some groceries in your neighborhood you take you two wheeler, can’t you walk?? You have become so lazy.

Human Being: Is that all?

Tree: Now comes that most important. I’m starving. I haven’t been fed for years.

Human Being: You need food? Don’t you get it from the soil?

Tree: Exactly my friend, but you have built a concrete jungle and cut off a lot of city greenery and the soil does not contain any nutrition and you too are not compensating for the loss of nutrition. You need to feed us and replenish for the loss of food.
