Day by day, if you take the whole world, millions of trees are being cut down. Every second we live, somewhere in this world, a tree is cut down.
They say, according to myths and legends, trees have feelings. They always make a ‘swooshing’ noise when people pass by. They also say that trees discuss among themselves before even letting their leaves fall down. They also drop their leaves before they are cut. Because of these actions, people do believe that trees have feelings just like us humans.
But even though people believe this, they cut them down. Because of this, animals lose their habitats, we get less oxygen, fruits and vegetables decrease and the weather will be warm. Due these reasons, it is our duty to protect trees and plant them. Let’s save trees for our own future.
