Solution
Dear friends,
It may be quite unbearable to have such an imagination. If there is a situation like this one must think twice whether one can think so worse. Let us analyze the impact on this dreadful imagination. If all the trees on the earth disappear all of a sudden, the earth will lose its charm. A lot of harm will follow us definitely. When there are no trees, there will be no forest on the earth. The landscape will not be enchanting our eyes. The beautiful earth will turn to be barren earth.
The trees give us oxygen. They take in the carbon-di-oxide. For want of oxygen, human health will start deteriorating. This will definitely result in a heavy loss of life. The wildlife will become extinct. The disappearance of trees will ban the rain. Even seasonal rain will become much less. As a result, there will be an acute scarcity of water. The water resources will become dry. Without water, the survival of humans, bird,s, and animals.
The scarcity of water will affect agriculture as it depends mainly on water. Even there will be a threat to drinking water. There will be drought and famine will prevail on the earth. There will be excessive heat on the earth. This will be a helping agent to global warming. Global warming will affect the ozone layer further. Then the consequence of this will result in the attraction with ultraviolet rays. This will destroy the entire human race.
Thus, even though, it is only an imagination of having the trees disappeared, let us think about the seriousness of life without trees. Let us grow trees more and more and let there be no I dream of not having any tree on the earth. Our growth and health will be sustainable, only. en there is an opportunity to have thick forests and evergreen trees around us always.
Trees are friends of humans. It provides a lot of things to meet the basic needs of human society. Let us never imagine tree-free earth. There should be no death of trees to make us feel free to live happily.
“Let the dream or imagination disappear and let more and more trees appear on our sphere”.
