“Trees are our lives.” Can you think about a world without trees? If trees are not there, people too won’t be there. Our lives are mostly dependent on trees. Without trees we can’t live. Trees are very useful to people as it provide food, medicine, furniture etc. We can’t breathe without trees. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air and produce oxygen and release it to the air. Every part of the jac tree and coconut tree is useful to us. Some people don’t think about the usefulness of trees. They cut them down for their own benefit. But they don’t think about others, the insects, climate change and natural disasters. The ozone layer is being destroyed and acid rains and droughts are also caused by cutting down trees.
