Stop cutting trees

I’ve seen plenty of beautiful trees being cut down right in front of me many a times in my life. I remember the first time I genuinely felt sad about it was when I first saw hundreds of trees in a line being cut in the same day near my grandmother’s house.

Every single tree that was being destroyed, was full of life, bright, huge and comforting especially because it was near a long river. It was the best place to sit and enjoy life, and I always looked forward to walking under that long line of beautifully scented trees and breathing the fresh healthy air Nature gifted us.

However, some people are never appreciative towards the gifts they get from life. They ruin it and don’t even regret it.

I agree that many times we need to cut down trees to help us for a lot of necessary things and it provides us with paper that is required for education. Wood from trees helps us in uncountable ways. But cutting trees in a massive amount in the same day for no specific reason is bad. The trees I cared about weren’t disturbing anyone and they weren’t on the road to disturb any pedestrians or drivers. They were all cut at the same time because of greed. We must find alternatives.

Now when I visit that riverside I only feel the sun’s heat and see the unfortunate ends of all the trees that were cut down that day. It doesn’t look good, nor does it feel good. We would never exactly know how much Nature is helping our health, so we should always appreciate the Nature we have around us and take care of it.
