Answer 2

Answer- Trees-Our Best Friends

''Trees are the kindest things I know, They do no harm but simply grow. They spread a shade for sleepy cows, And gather the birds in their bows.''

It is rightly said that, '' Trees are our lifeline.'' We are dependent upon trees. Trees give us life-saving oxygen which is very essential for our survival. They provide us shade and shelter. Trees are the ornaments that our Mother Earth wears. They hold the soil firmly and prevent soil erosion. Trees play a vital role in our life. They provide us wood for furniture, medicines, fruits, vegetables, etc.

Trees are the green gold. Many occasions and festivals are celebrated all over the world in order to protect trees which are regarded as the best friends of a man. Sundarlal Bahuguna, a Garhwali environmentalist started a very famous movement in India i.e. Chipko Movement in 1973. Van Mohatsav was started in 1950 by Dr. K. M. Munshi, the then Union Minister for Agriculture and Food.

Wangari Maathai, the first environmentalist to receive Noble Prize, who planted thirty million trees said, '' Every citizen does some little thing. My little thing is planting trees.''

Trees also purify air by giving out oxygen and taking in carbondioxide. They prevent global warming, floods, droughts, etc. and bring rain.

Trees enhance the scenic beauty of Earth. They also prevent blistering hot sunshine.

Ruskin Bond, a very popular author rightly said, '' Blessed is he upon whose house walls, the shade of an old tree falls.''

But these days, the human beings are becoming very ruthless and brutal for the purpose of getting wood for their daily necessities like: wood for furniture, paper, pencils, etc. without realizing that this would cause a lot of hurdles such as: natural calamities, deforestation, etc.

So, we should stop it and start planting more trees for healthy surroundings. We should stop deforestation and adopt the policy of afforestation.

OUR MOTTO SHOULD BE,'' LET'S PAINT THE EARTH GREEN.''
