Trees can be termed as the best friend to all the living organisms on this earth and especially to mankind.Trees help in providing rainfall,protecting the top soil from being washed away in case of heavy floods,provide cool shade during scorching summer heat,provide fruits,flowers and every part of trees are of great use to manking.Be it the the wood we get from trees to make furniture,rubber,bamboo and lots more.Trees alter the environment in which we live by moderating climate, improving air quality, conserving water, and harboring wildlife. Climate control is obtained by moderating the effects of sun, wind, and rain. Radiant energy from the sun is absorbed or deflected by leaves on deciduous trees in the summer and is only filtered by branches of deciduous trees in winter.
Temperature in the vicinity of trees is cooler than that away from trees. The larger the tree, the greater the cooling. By using trees in the cities, we are able to moderate the heat-island effect caused by pavement and buildings in commercial areas.
Air quality can be improved through the use of trees, shrubs, and turf. Leaves filter the air we breathe by removing dust and other particulates. Rain then washes the pollutants to the ground. Leaves absorb carbon dioxide from the air to form carbohydrates that are used in the plant’s structure and function. In this process, leaves also absorb other air pollutants—such as ozone, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide—and give off oxygen.
By planting trees and shrubs, we return to a more natural, less artificial environment. Birds and other wildlife are attracted to the area. The natural cycles of plant growth, reproduction, and decomposition are again present, both above and below ground. Natural harmony is restored to the urban environment.Shri Vision Social Empowerment and Welfare Association (SRV SEWA) decided to convey their support to protect trees for the good of the environment by creating a world record event so that the message is spread everywere.
They roped in 111 persons to hug trees for a minute at the Campus of Engineering,Devi Ahilya University,Indore,Madhya Pradesh,India on November 9,2011.The advantage of conveying positive social message through world records are that the message is better understood,gets wide support and publicity.The objective of the campaign is materialised and the youth realise the gravity of the situation.Efforts from each one of us is only going to help us conserve nature and ecological balance for the future generations too.
