Plant trees, save nature
Planting trees is one of the most important things you can do to save the environment. It takes about 625 square feet surface area of vegetation to produce the daily oxygen requirement of one person. Even people living in big, bustling cities can play a vital role in greening their environment. Here are some simple, cost-effective ways by which you can plant a tree, and do your little bit to green your world .
If you have a big enough garden, plant trees, for they can cool your homes considerably.
Select appropriate plants to suit your garden and the climatic conditions. Your local nursery or horticultural society can help you.
If your garden is too small for trees, have plants and creepers instead. Every green plant helps to reduce the carbon dioxide we are letting out into the atmosphere.
Garden plants are better than a lawn for absorbing carbon dioxide. So when you plan your garden, opt for extra space for plants rather than for a lawn.
If your city or garden lacks water for gardening, plant drought-resistant plants like cacti, flowering shrubs, etc.
If you live in an apartment, grow a terrace or balcony garden using potted plants.
Window boxes can be used to grow small flowering plants which also add to the beauty of your apartment. Try and use discarded materials to make your boxes.
Keep indoor plants in the house, they can lessen indoor air pollution.
Compost your leaf waste to avoid use of chemical fertilisers.
Do not present flower bouquets. Instead, give a potted plant and encourage your friends to grow plants.
Start a tree planting programme in your area. Plant on roadsides, in parks, in schools, factories and home.
If you see trees being cut down on the street, report it immediately to the concerned authorities. Most environmental problems arise due to public apathy.
Make saving trees a personal commitment.

Subject: Solutions to Global Warming.
Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed daily newspaper, I wish to highlight the danger and solutions to global warming.
Global warming is the phenomenon of the increase in the temperature of the atmosphere due to the presence of excessive green house gases. Global warming will results in melting of the polar ice caps and raise in the ocean level which will submerge islands and coastal lands. Global warming is a reality but there are remedies too.
Planting more trees will reduce the amount of the harmful carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere and reduce global warming. We need to use alternative energy instead of burning of fossil fuels like coal and petroleum products. Burning of fossil fuels increase global warming and also deplete the ozone layer which protects us from the harmful effects of UV rays of the Sun.
Proper treatment of industrial waste before they are dumped and using renewable energy, electric, hydro and solar energy will help us to reduce the danger of global warming. Urgent steps must be taken to reduce exhaust emissions from motor vehicles, power plants, factories and industries. Global warming needs global action to save and preserve life on Earth.
Yours sincerely,
RAMESHWAR
