Write a dialogue between you and your friend on save the tree
Answers
I had a following conversation with my friends concerning the importance of trees:
I: Hey buddy, what will happen if the trees continue to be cut and abused at the present rate?
My friend: Life of all living beings will be endangered! Our planet will stop supporting life!
I: The present condition of forests in the world, especially developing countries is pathetic and miserable.
My Friend: Forests are the source of life. They are the giving angels. They give man oxygen, rains, wood, fruit, make the world look so beautiful, yet the sinister man kills them! Who will be more inhumane than man himself? Cutting of forests ultimately endangers man’s own existence.
I: I agree with you wholeheartedly! Most of the world oxygen that the animal species including man inhale is produced in the tropical rainforests. More than half of the world's estimated 10 million species of plants, animals and insects live in the tropical rainforests. They are important to the environment as they recycle water and regulate levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere through photosynthesis.
My Friend: Not only oxygen, they are the world's full-time regulators of air and water. Their cutting will disturb the natural water cycles which will lead to the shortage of fresh-water in the water reserves of the world.
I: Cutting of these forests will have a negative effect on the environment. It will result in an increase in the amount of carbon and other greenhouse gases in the environment. Burning of these forests will result in the emission of a large amount of carbon dioxide into the air. Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases like the oxides of nitrogen and methane are known to trap atmospheric heat, thus increasing the average temperature of the Earth's surface. This increase in the temperature near the Earth's surface and oceans is termed as global warming.
My Friend: Well said! Extreme weather conditions, changing agricultural yields, and increase in the disease vectors are some of the other effects of global warming. Deforestation, being the primary reason behind global warming, we need to show greater concern towards the cutting of trees on a large scale. We need to take quick measures for preventing deforestation of the tropical forests so that we can hope for an environment that is healthy to live in.
I: What can we do? The entire mankind is so morbidly interested in destroying itself! If it were not, would it not take care of its life-support system?
My Friend: We can do a lot in this regard. We will have to tell people again and again. We will have to launch save trees campaigns. We will have to adopt ‘Chipko Movement’ type strategy. Where ever trees are being cut, people with the cooperation of conservationists put up resistance. The government will definitely take the people’s side.
I: I think children should be made aware of the importance of trees from their schools. And each individual should protect trees on his/her own level.
