Save Trees and Save the World!!!!!!! - by Sewwandi Bandara

Every time when I see trees, one question comes into my mind. What they feel and how they feel? Trees are one of my favorites. When I see them, I feel like I am breathing. I always love to see the green color leaves of the tree which gives the beauty, shade and happiness. Trees are very important and it is a very important gift to the mankind from the nature. Trees are a part of our life. When there are no trees there would not be any of us in this world.
They intake all the carbon dioxide and give oxygen back to us which we cannot live without. So if we have to go one day without trees we can think about our situation. They are with us from our birth by giving the bed to sleep till our death by giving the wood for our coffin. They do not give any things for money. All the benefits we get for free, but we cut them down just for money. If trees start to charge for each and every thing they do for us then people will start to think about the trees.
They help us to maintain the natural water cycle. Without them there will be no rain. They absorb environment pollutants and clean the air and clean water. Also, they hold the soil by their roots and helps to stop the soil erosion. They provide foods for our survival. Also, they help us to create the economy. They give shelter for us and protects the wildlife becoming a habitat for them.
People cut trees for different reasons. They cut trees to get money. They cut trees to build houses or buildings. They cut trees for wood. This will create an ecological imbalance which can be greatly effected for the mankind at a point. The tree is like a protector of the earth. Once we cut a tree it creates a wound in this earth where the earth can be affect of the sun, heavy rain and in many other ways.There is a saying which I learnt when I was small “If you cut one tree make sure to plant ten trees instead of that one tree”. Do we practice this now? No. Now what we do is just cut down the trees and get the money and then we clean our hands. 
It is important to teach your children to protect the trees and plant trees. I am sure they will see this as a good hobby once they start to do that.
If we can save them they will save us for our betterment.
