Have you ever wondered what a world without trees would look like? The answer would simply be “without them, we lose the essential functions of life on Earth.
”Trees make our lives better in ways we may not notice. While it’s obvious that some trees, such as the Japanese cherry blossoms, are beautiful to look upon, others provide us with food, oxygen to breathe, carbon dioxide absorption that slows the rate of global warming, reduce wind speeds and cool the air as they lose moisture, prevent landslides as their roots reinforce soil layers and the list goes on!
Unlike animals, trees can’t move when their habitat becomes inhospitable. Since trees stay where they are planted and many trees have seeds that are not easily dispersed, they are often trapped in a rapidly changing environment.
Trees do so much for our environment and now it’s our turn to do something for them. In conjunction with World Earth Day, let us make a difference and give back to the planet!
So, now that we are reminded about the importance of trees, did you know on average 24,516 trees are cut to print 12.8 million Indah Water Konsortium (IWK) Sdn Bhd bills a year — yes you read that right! Together, these trees can absorb tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere but instead it is cut down.
