Save The Environment By Planting Trees

Do you know that throughout the world, 3 to 6 billion trees are cut down yearly. This has to do with the demand for goods that are produced from trees. For example, paper is utilized both in the home and workplace and wood is used in the construction of houses. We all should take responsibility in saving our woodlands even if there are things we have to use that are made from trees. (in Dutch: Duurzame Materialen)

Arbor Day was created with the intent that we must all be planting trees on that day although truthfully this has had little impact. Planting trees is not something that most individuals give any thought to. It would help, of course, if everyone planted a tree.

Did you know that there are roughly 7 billion people living on the planet? However, you can never be certain of the precise numbers for this. But then, if each of those 7 billion individuals went out and planted a tree every Arbor Day, we would be replacing all the trees that were felled that year. We know in reality that this is not going to take place.

Thus, the solution is for those of you who care about the Earth and want oxygen so you can live, plant a tree. I am not limiting this to planting trees on only one day of the year. How about planting trees each week or at least once a month? We should try to make up for people who don’t plant trees even though they go on using the earth’s valuable resources.

If we look at Arbor Day, the number of trees planted is only between 8 and 15 million. Based on those estimates, we nevertheless need to take that number up by a further 5 billion. Regrettably, things are not getting any better. (in Dutch: Zonne Energie)

I actually have a solution to the problem entirely even though folks should nevertheless keep on planting trees whenever they can. If a law could be passed that whenever a tree is felled by companies in the timber trade, they then had to plant two new ones, this could genuinely make a huge difference.

We will have to continue to resolve this situation ourselves until there is the political willpower to make these changes. And it won’t take that much for us to increase the tree population annually. The number of trees felled each year could be replaced if ten percent of the world’s population planted one tree every month. On average, that would be around 7 billion trees being planted annually. And that 1 billion extra trees are precisely what we need in order to get our tree population back to where it has to be.

Every person worried about the the environment can help by planting trees. Once more, it merely takes 10% of the total number of people in the world to start making a difference. And you could be one of those people helping out.
