Plants are nature’s most coveted gift to the earth. Without trees, the earth cannot sustain life. Vegetation feeds the entire creation, one way or other.
As per the official estimate long back, a tree which lives for 50 years is worth 25.00 lac Indian Rupees. The Break up is:
#Contribution to cleansing of air pollution- about 10.50 Lacs
#Shelter to birds and animals- 5.3 Lacs
#Generating Oxygen-5.5 Lacs
#Fruits, Medicines and other products-4.3 Lacs
#These estimates had not taken into consideration the other numerous benefits given the trees, like
#Contribution in stabilizing the temperature
#Contribution in recycling fertility
# Prevention of soil erosion
# Moderation of natural calamities like storm
It will be very difficult to value all the above, and if you adjust this to present inflation, a tree that lives for 50 years should be worth at least One Crore Indian Rupees.
So why wait; Gift our society worth Rs.10000000 by planting a sapling!
