Sir,
Green plants and trees are bounties of nature endowed with multigarious qualities. On account of these qualities, plants and trees contribute to mankind is a number of ways.
Plants and trees transpire which helps in bringing the atmospheric temperature to an optimum level conducive to mankind. Plants act as wind breakers. Plants absorb noise thus having a soothing effect on overstressed people, green plants provide an aesthetic look to the area making it attractive spot to the on looker.
It is pertinent to mention here that the ancient rulers were aware to the situation and planted a plethora of trees on both sides of roads for the comfort of travellers. Present rulers should learn from history and should be guided by the past experience.
There should be sincere efforts from the concerned agencies to launch a green campaign and plant trees to make all the towns and cities to ensure that all these areas become green belts. These steps will go a long way in improving the ecological health of these areas thus reducing pollution resulting from congestion and over-crowdedness.
Yours etc….
