Save Trees. Trees Save.

Simple yet profound.

While checking my mails today, I came across a forward which had quite a profound message being circulated - Save Trees! Its surprising how we have almost forgot about the importance of their existance.

Following is a brilliant Ad showcasing the cause :

Some Gyan (was forced to read more about trees!)

* Did you know that each one of us requires 625 square feet surface area of greenery to produce our daily oxygen needs?

* Trees are the largest and longest living things on earth and they live much longer than animals. The Californian Giant Sequoia, for example, may live for more than 3000 years. And do you know how long it will take to cut this down? Just 3 hours. But it cannot be created again and we’ll have to wait for another 3000 years to get back a tree of the same size and usefulness. So even planting of 3000 saplings cannot justify cutting down one single tree today.

Reminds me of the days spent in school reading about chipko movement, celebrating green days by planting saplings … wonder why we don’t care about it no more?
