Use plants to bring life. Said Douglas Wilson once.

The wise man knew it all, he knew that a man who


plants something, plants hope.

A hope, that would transcend the humanity for almost ever. A hope that would strengthen mother earth.
A hope that would bring down showers. A hope that would make us breath. A hope that would give firm
support and help us live.

It all starts with a simple, seemingly, lifeless seed. Once buried and adopted by mother earth, the hope
begins to grow.

From the splitting of its test

os on the second day, to the formation of a cotyledon on the fifth. From the elongation of epicotyle after
a week to the plumule withdrawn from it within another two days. It was a bundle, a bundle of hope
surpassing various phases of enlightenment to its original and beautiful form.
Then, the day came. When hope grew fully and started spreading off. Day 11, first leaves of the plumule

open up. The shoot from axil of cotyledon extends.The epicotyle straightens. And the Tap roots hold
together now, the beginning of a beautiful plant.
As time passes by, the small shrub turns into a fully grown plant with Splendid Green leafs, Marvellous
stem structure and an undeniably strong hold.
This plant reproduces. Shortly after, another plant grows, which thereby reproduces at its age and brings
another plant to life. Therefore forming massive woodlands.

Moving forth, These breath taking structures not only add up to the scenic beauty of where they reside
but tend to have un-countable benefits.

However, they are being exploited for human use. More than 60 % of Pakistans forests are cleared for
cattle ranches. The other 40 % for small scale agriculture. In Brazil, Over 62 % of deforestation has been
caused by animal pastures. In USA, 42 % of the forest area is exploited for small scale shifting agriculture.
12 % caused by cattle ranching. And the others may include commercial crops and fuels like charcoal
being imported or exported.

This killing of the trees, might as well be far worse than the great killing of Calcutta in 1946. For, then
only about 500 of the locals were murdered. Whereas now, millions of human beings kiss the earth good
bye and hold hands with the eternal slumber everyday. And why? All because of sub factors set up by the
demolishing of plants.

Global warming isn't a prediction, its happening. As said by James Hansen. And it is no lie, that Global
warming is taking over. Another time, rightly said was that "Is it true that cutting and burning trees adds
more global warming pollution to the atmosphere than all the cars and trucks in the world combined" by
Mitchell Vale. The cutting or burning of trees gives a rise to this because of various factors.

This includes to main dividers. One, The Burning down of Plants, which lets harmful fumes reach and
damage the ozone layer, and two the cutting down of trees, which decreases the rate of photosynthesis
therefore increasing the rate of carbondioxide in the atmosphere.
Furthermore, Destruction of plants causes Soil erosion, Land sliding on mountains, infertile and barren
land. Asthmatic problems since some plants act as smoke filters. Cutting down forests on a large scale
also deteriorates the illness curing herbs and bushes.

These factors all add up and formulate against human beings and their way of life.
