Plantation:

In Faisal Masjid, we performed a plantation activity. Our motive to perform this activity to save Pakistan from climate change. Many glaciers in GB are melting due to change in weather. Change in weather, because of climate change. Since human beings have excessively exploited trees in the last two centuries after lifestyle inventions, the importance of tree plantation has become a top priority in the present time. Tree plantation helps to sustain nature and maintain the dignity of human life on earth.

Trees are the most precious gift of Nature and are our best friend because they create a friendly environment on earth for a healthy life. Trees grow in varied geographical areas and climates. Trees grow in the deserts, mountains and plains, and on the banks of water bodies. Likewise, trees grow in areas of hot, cold, and rainy climates. An abundance of many different trees makes up a forest.

A tree keeps the environment and climate of an area balanced and sound. We cannot do even a day without the blessings of trees. So it is our bounden duty to plant more trees and take care of them properly. Tree plantation means planting more and more trees around our houses, highways, rail lines, offices and roads.

Trees provide clean air for living beings to respire and produce energy. For a healthy life, free from suffocation and pollution, the importance of tree plantation cannot be underestimated, especially in urban areas.

Trees give out oxygen and consume carbon-dioxide during the process of photosynthesis that occurs in them. Thus, they help in providing oxygen which we need to breathe to stay alive. By consuming carbon-dioxide, greenhouse gas, trees help in checking global warming and climate change. Trees are invaluable and, therefore, must always be protected.

 It is high time we started a tree plantation program to save our environment as well as our existence on earth. Trees should be planted on the banks of ponds and darns, on both sides of roads, highways, rail lines, embankments, and barrages. Trees should be planted on any fallow land near our houses, schools, and offices. June and July are the proper time for tree plantation. With a view to making the tree plantation program successful. Public awareness must be raised, illiteracy must be wiped out and population explosion must be controlled.
