Talking-Tree : I am also a living witness of this earth

Khushi Arora, New Delhi

“I am tree and feeling bad, because people cut me regularly for the self fulfilment. But they forget my value towards the nature. When people cut me for their work, I don’t feel so bad because maybe I am being useful to them but I feel bad when no other plant is planted in my place. Whenever I see the balance of our earth getting disturbed, tears come to my eyes. I want to correct its balance, but then I think that I have become old and weak now. I cannot do anything now, and oneday these people will kill me for their benefit.

When I think about how good life trees and plants had 15-20 years ago. People used to grow us more, take care of us and demand less from us. Because 15-20 years ago, there probably weren’t so many factories and such big buildings. But if we look at today, there are lakhs of factories and millions of tall buildings in this world. And most importantly, today the population has increased and it is increasing continuously. Due to this the needs of people are increasing and the number of trees and plants is decreasing and this is the reason why global warming is gradually increasing. Holes are appearing in the ozone layer, mountains are becoming smaller and the glaciers are melting and this is not a good sign for our Earth.

It seems that I am unaware of this worsening situation. Because people considered me lifeless. Why do not they understand that I also breathe, I can also see, I am also a living witness of this earth. There is a life inside me too. Don’t kill me. Save me. Save our mother earth. Reduce pollution from this earth and control this increasing population. Limit your needs use things that can be reuse and don’t buy something else in its place. I also feel pain when someone cuts me, I also feel sad when this earth cries.”

These are the feelings of a tree which we probably cannot understand. Please understand. The feeling of a tree is also the feeling of the earth. They suffer so much. They bear so much pain, to fulfill our needs, please limit your needs. Whatever things you can use again, please do so.

Thank you
