PAMPHLETS DISTRIBUTION

PAMPHLETS PREPARED BY OUR PROJECT GROUP

Why We Need Trees?

• Trees make Good Neighbours—Trees add beauty to our individual yards and our entire community.
• Trees are Cool—Trees cool the air, land and water with leafy shade and moisture and help save money on energy costs.
• Animals Need Trees—Trees provide food and habitat for many kinds of species.
• Trees Protect Soil—Trees roots stabilize the soil and prevent erosion.
• Trees Help Us Breathe Easier—Trees clean the air and return pure oxygen.
• Trees Fight Climate Change—Planting trees helps offset greenhouse gases.

Plant trees for beauty , for pleasure and for health

Plant trees for shelter , for fruitage and for wealth

“IT IS NOT EXAGGERATED PRAISE TO CALL A TREE THE GRANDEST AND MOST BEAUTIFUL OF ALL THE PRODUCTIONS OF THE EARTH.”

A story goes that a wicked man once unintentionally watered a sapling
while washing his hands.
On account of this he was rewarded with one day stay in heaven.

Tree Planting and Care is a holy act

PLANT A TREE, GREEN THE EARTH, CLEAN THE AIR, LIVE HAPPILY.

THINK GLOBALLY , ACT LOCALLY

How valuable is a tree?

Trees are actually priceless. In fact, trees are the most important reason for our survival without which, we are extinct. Being so, as we cannot dispense with, it becomes pointless to find the value of a tree. Regardless, always some study or other goes on towards setting a bottomline on what could be its worth.

According to a paper presented in the Indian Science Congress held in Varnasi, during January 1981, a 15 year old tree is worth :

Criteria	Value (in Rs.)
Production of oxygen	2,50,000
Control of air pollution	5,00,000
Control of soil erosion & fertility	2,50,000
Recycling of water & control of humidity	5,00,000
Bird & animal shelter	2,50,000
Protein conversion	20,000
T O T A L	15,70,000

Note: The above figures are valuations as on 1981. In today’s scenario, that too after taking into account on the prevailing pollution levels and cost inflation, it could be even 10 times the above figure. Also, this valuation is just for a 15 year old tree. The reality is that most of the trees survive 100 years and more.

Last few years, urbanization and a fast growth rate have taken their toll on the city as well as villages. More and more concrete structures are out and the result is that the green tree cover is removed

Planting and nurturing a small sapling is a simple way to say "I CARE".

Say I care for myself, my community, my nation, and my environment.
