Value of trees..........

Uprooting a tree
The Garden City is famous for its variety of trees. We can see big trees on either side of most of the roads. These trees are a main cause of the pleasant climate of this city throughout the year. But presently the climate has changed a lot due to the crowding of buildings and vehicles. But appreciable attempts are doing to keep up the good climate. Eventhough lot of trees are uprooting for modern infrastructure, these are putting back with the co-operation of the forest department, metropolis and environmentalists. For the metro rail project in Bangalore, many huge trees were to be uprooted from MG road, but they all could be successfully put back in Cubbon park. It is a great thing in my opinion. In most of the cities, (even in villages also) trees are axing for their development works. They have to be aware of the value of trees and its influence on our environment. I am glad about the good outlook of considering trees as precious things in our Garden City.

"Mother Rapers"

I got the above visual from airport-seaport road - Cochin, near Kalamassery in Kerala. It was really a shocking image. What I felt was that we are killing our mother for our selfish needs. Studies show that in the coming century, the most valuable as well as deficient thing on earth will be water. Trees and mountains are helping to store water under the earth and this water we get from wells for our needs. As the result of digging soil from earth in a huge quantity leads to unavailability of water. This leads to climate changes and other environmental problems too. If we are aware about these things and ready to avert such cruel deeds, we can live in our beautiful earth for some more days by enjoying its gifts.
