Planting Trees
In the modern world, the major challenge facing nations is global warming. The emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere contributes to global warming. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse that is produced from the burning of fossil fuels (Adele, 2020). Trees are essential in the absorption of carbon dioxide, which traps heat in the air and leads to global warming. My community can become a change that the world can emulate. I want to consider this as an opportunity to enlighten my friends back at home on the significance of planting trees. Plantings trees are the most appropriate way to curb the issue of global warming and fight climate change.
I know you will tell me that you have been doing it at home; hence it is not a critical issue. My problem here is, do you know how many trees are needed in the entire world to help in fighting climate change? For example, if you plant a single tree on your compound and every day we need new trees to absorb the carbon in the atmosphere, I know this won’t be a significant contribution to the world. When you look at your compound, I am sure that most of us cannot even count the trees to reach a number ten. Trees are important; let’s exclude the world first and bring benefits to your home. Trees purify the air, and that is why every day you feel nature while you are home (Adele, 2020). If you do not plant the trees, the air is not purified, and carbon dioxide fills the atmosphere. You here everybody complaining of climate change and global warming and you have never come to understand that the solution starts with you, my friends.
After all, it is not a big deal since we are the ones who are increasing the level of carbon in the atmosphere. Back at home, we use fossil fuels such as coal. The emissions are directed into the atmosphere. When parents are using their cars, they fuel them with gasoline, and whenever the car uses the gas, the emissions are directed into the atmosphere (Adele, 2020). Humankind starting from me to you and the entire world has created the greenhouse effect which interferes with the climate. It is now high time for you to take responsibility for your actions. Let’s come out and inform the world of the significance of planting trees and also embrace the culture starting from home. For example, we can mobilize our friends in the community to ensure that on the weekend, we plant even ten trees in the village or within the city.
Some of my friends are worried, and they think that when several trees are planted, there are always consequences. One of my friends in class told me that when the trees die, they decompose, and they also produce carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The result of several trees dying cannot be compared with the outcome of planting several trees. Trees die after a long time, and this will not hamper the efforts of the young trees from purifying the air. I want to believe that we can take care of the trees just like we take care of our pets so that they can stay healthy and have a longer lifespan. Therefore, my friends, I think you can agree with me that planting trees is the best way to fight changes in the climate, which results in global warming. What are we waiting for? Start planting trees.
