Subject: The importance of afforestation
Respected Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed daily I would like to
ventilate my opinion about the importance of planting more trees.
Unplanned urbanisation and indiscriminate felling of trees
have destroyed the green cover of the earth and have made it what it is today −
‘a jungle of concrete’. This has posed a great threat to the environment and to
our very existence. Trees play a vital role in maintaining the ecological
balance and the way deforestation is going on at present, will have fatal
consequences on ecology and the environment. Already we have started to feel
the conditions throughout the world, frequent occurrence of natural calamities,
changes in the cycle of seasons, global warming, rising pollution − all these
are directly or indirectly related to this large scale felling of trees. It is
high time that we take up afforestation programmers on a large scale to repair
the damage that has already been done.
Therefore, I request you to create awareness among the
masses through your editorial column.
Thanking you.
Yours
faithfully,
XXX
