Plant a tree to control the Pollution level

master · ,

We are living in this environment & still then we are destroying it by polluting the atmosphere.The pollution level is now so high that it's creating lots of problems for us So to control the pollution level,I would like to advise each & every individual to plant trees.I've planted many trees in our surroundings.Will you go for it ?

I guess that I would plant a tree if we have a backyard. Planting a tree would certainly make any place a much pleasing to the eye and would also provide some fresh air.

I think this is a great idea. Once a year, in my hometown, they give out free trees in honor of Arbor Day. I have went and picked up trees many times and planted them in my yard, my mother's yard, and on the hillside behind our house. This is just something we enjoy doing together as a family and hopefully it is helping our environment too.

Of course, I will. We have vast tracts of lands in the province and I plan to fill them all up with various trees - fruit bearing, ornamentals, and hardwood, too. It'll help the environment, our livelihood and we can get to eat the fruits, too! Lovely, isn't it?

That is a lovely idea! I just love the feeling I get from raising our own fruit trees and seeing the results of our hard work. We have a few peach trees and it always thrills me when we have big juicy peaches just waiting to be picked. We also plant dogwood and pine trees every year on the bank in front of our house. One day these trees will be big enough to be wonderful shade trees and they are already helping the environment.

When I was young and in the Boy Scouts we always did things like plant trees, cleanup parks, etc... Now that I am older I find doing stuff like this comes natural.

Funny thing is... I just started a new trail that I walk after work in the park behind my house. At the begining of the trail where I enter there is a sign that says; Plant a tree! Now seeing this thread, I think Its time for me to plant a tree!!!

I think that I will be planting a tree once I got my new home. That would make it cooler because I’m living on a house which doesn’t have any backyard right now. I think that I would have much energy because of the beautiful sceneries that is around me.

Great story Andy adding to the fact that kids will take their experiences into their adult life. If they learn many things about how to recycle, plant trees, and why it is so important, then more than likely they will continue doing so into adulthood.

With the Internet you can research the best trees to plant, providing the most benefits such as growing faster, and helping the air quality advantage faster. Research also helps you choose tree choices for a certain weather related areas.

I was listening to a program about gardening this morning here in the Cleveland area. A lady said she planted a tree she brought up from TN. The gardener explained that the tree might die if we have below 0 temps for more than a few days in a row. Well here in Cleveland that kind of winter weather is very common, so I wish the lady the best for that tree. This example shows how important doing your research in choosing the best trees for your area.

One thing I have to point out is how much new construction sites usually just plant small low maintenance pine trees. After taking out a forest of trees to build, it is beyond logic to think that you are giving back very much at all with those replacement trees. There needs to be much more green considered in higher quality trees that actually do help the air we breathe. We now have way too many new and old developments taking over way too much land across the United States, plus add in the forest fires, and you have lots of green destroyed per year. Much lower quality trees are planted back in, that actually does not provide what nature did before it was destroyed. I think this has to be analyzed in very recent years to come as they keep taking out more forests, or as cities add trees. They need to consider choosing trees of higher quality to the air we breathe than just small pine trees.

I guess I am lucky. My yard has many trees even I would say it is woodsie. I have many plants and even my own veggie garden.

wilh81 · ,

I've planted assorted fruit trees in my backyard, such as the Apple trees, Orange trees, pear trees and much more...

I love to rest below the tree in a cozy and lazy afternoon, which this really make my stress gone away.

Asad · ,

Well.. this is one of the good factor about India.
There are enough tree, but, still everyone here loves to plant the trees.

I guess, I have about 20 trees in my backyard

I live in the country side. We do have a lot of tree's around. But it does not stop there. Since roads are being built everywhere. What i would suggest is to plant and put trees along the highway. Since cars emits CO2 why not use this harmful pollutant to be convert into oxygen by a tree or a plant.

s_k · ,

Well i would certainly love to do it. the only problem being that in our neighbourhood, there is virtually no place for plantation of a tree. Moreso, even the existing ones are in the danger of felling down in order to expand the road and living area. I think more than planting a tree, we must stop the uncontrolled growth of the human race!

surat · ,

I guess that I would plant a tree if we have a back-yard. The plantation of a tree would certainly make at any place much pleasant with the eye and would also provide fresh air.

vtte · ,

Planting trees is something that actively counters the immense amounts of deforestation that we are facing at the moment. Every ten seconds, acres of forest are cut down to meet the needs of the growing world population. So that's why there are communities out there who have decided to take a stand and organize tree planting events - for example in Australia where I live a month or so ago all children of all schools in a local area set off to plant some 1000 trees in their area.

I built a new house and started a new landscape from scratch about 2 years ago. There is no greater satisfaction than planting something, caring for it, and watching it grow. The fact that it good for the environment is an added bonus.

you are right djschwab!.. thanks very much for sharing!

It is a policy in the City where I live that when you cut a tree you should replace it with 10. In other words, you should plant 10 trees to replace the other. And I've tried to join once in tree planting activity. I guess it's a great way to protect the environment as well as the eco-system.

saji · ,

trees are the one which giveshadow,oxygen,rain and for home for thousands of insects.... which leads to eco-system and finally tree ends it life and decomposes into manure for the soil and again it give life to the seeds... and the cycle continuesso one should know the importance of trees and we have to make life worth by living with trees... from now on every one should plant at least 2-3 trees for better tomorrow.

Great idea! We have greenery all around our home and we have also planted trees. A new garden is springing up. It's so much fun and pure happiness to see those little shrubs growing. Watering those small plants in the evening is a favorite activity for us. Yes, it is lovely to have new trees. It feel great to see those seeds growing into fine plants. It feels as if they are laughing and playing in the breeze and calling you to join their fun.

Cannot really express these lovely feelings into words!

ricky · ,

because of this thread posted i would like to tell you something..

In the university that i am studying in rite now, plants 3 trees of 1 tree that is cut at the time of construction..
i think its a very noble thing to do.. and moreover these types of things should definitely be encouraged..

Geminiamp · ,

I live in Oregon and we are surrounded by trees which is probably a main part of the reason that smog is such a small problem here.

So I'm for planting a tree or two they do help clear the air and in the summer their a great source for shade.

MattChow · ,

Yup, planting a tree could really help our much-abused environment. I've participated in various mountain hiking before, and we could see a really big patch of land, in the middle of a green forest, denuded. Logs scattered on the ground still lay in heaps, since the people cutting those trees ran and hid when they learned that we were coming. There should be a tough law to prosecute these illegal loggers, this is the only way we could preserve our forests, don't you think so?

BlueSword · ,

planting a tree is really important if we would like to save our environment. it helps clean up the air that we breath, and provides a whole lot of advantageous effects. it would help with the looming problem of global warming also. so we could plant at least 3 trees in our lifetime or more if we could, then it would be very beneficial both for us and the environment.

cena_john · ,

I have already gone for it and planted a Neem tree and a 'peepal' tree in ground where i play cricket. I have also started helping my mom out with maintaining the plants which she has planted in our kitchen garden.
I hope that this is a good idea

A thing that I must specify is how much the building sites new construction plant usually just small low trees of pine of maintenance. After having left a forest trees to build, it is beyond logic to think that you infinitely restore whole with these trees of replacement. It is necessary much greener considered in trees more high-quality which really help the air than we breathe. We have the manner now too the new ones and old developments too much succeeding ground through the United States, more add in forest fires, and you make destroy a good number of green per annum. Many the trees of lower quality are planted behind inside, that really does not provide which nature made before it was destroyed. I think that this must be analyzed in years to come very recent while they continue to leave more forests, or while the cities add trees.
