• Trees renew our air supply by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen.
• The amount of oxygen produced by an acre of trees per year equals the amount consumed by 18 people annually. One tree produces nearly 260 pounds of oxygen each year.
• One acre of trees removes up to 2.6 tons of carbon dioxide each year.
• Shade trees can make buildings up to 20 degrees cooler in the summer.
• Trees lower air temperature by evaporating water in their leaves.
• Tree roots stabilize soil and prevent erosion.
• Trees improve water quality by slowing and filtering rain water, as well as protecting aquifers and watersheds.

The cottonwood tree seed is the seed that stays in flight the longest. The tiny seed is surrounded by ultra-light, white fluff hairs that can carry it on the air for several days.

to save our earth we can do a small thing from our self. there are many ways to save our beautiful earth. we can start by save our forest.

forest is very important for us. without forest there are many pollute that can destroy our body, if there is no forest in this world so, we cant still alive in this earth. many people destroy our forest by, illegal logging but they never want to reforestation that forest again.

So far as human knowledge goes life exists only on this plant. It is our moral duty to see that we do nothing which hinders its growth. The role and importance of forests in a developing society like India burdened with enormous population pressure, poverty, pollution and yet trying to implement ambitious development project needs no elaboration. But we have been continuously exploiting our natural resources.

The consequences of such continuous and wreck less use of trees and other natural resources would be disastrous. Over the past decade or so, more and more attention is being paid, all over the world, to forests, on which human existence depends and the maintenance of which is now increasingly being considered as essential for mankind.

The question remains that how would you define a forest? Are Forests just large areas of land covered with trees? No, a forest is much more than just trees. It also includes smaller undergrowth plants such as mosses, shrubs and bushes and flowers in addition to many kinds of birds, insects and other animals, who make their homes in the forests.

Forests have always been of great importance to human beings. Prehistoric people found their food mainly by hunting and by gathering wild fruits and animals. With the development of civilization, people settled in towns and cities. But they still returned to the forests to get timber and to hunt. Today, people depend on forests for their economic value, their environmental value and the valued culture and recreation.

Forests provide many important products such as wood, various fats, gum, oils etc. In some tribal society, forest plants and animals make up a large part of the people’s diet. We cannot deny them of their food.

As long as there are forests, people can count on a steady supply of forest products. Forests also regulate the climate directly. They provide a home for many plants and animals that can live nowhere else along with those which are on the verge of extinction. By eliminating these forests, we are not only jeopardizing our future, but theirs as well.

Today, great expanses of forests have been eliminated because of logging activities, industrial pollution and for mans own selfish needs. Rapid forest destruction is often a symptom of social unrest. Large numbers of poor landless families move into the forests and clear the trees in order to grow crops and for other purposes. More forests are stripped to provide wood for fuel. In the commercial timber industry, trees are also felled for export. But can not we save these trees? Yes! We can with a joint effort take the example of Himachal apples growers- they use cardboard cartons for packing their produce and thereby avoiding the wastage of wood. India’s unique chipko movement is also exemplary.

We need to generate a massive public awareness and concern for our forests we must restrict the use of wood to an absolute minimum. A tree for every child should be our slogan. Then and only then will our planet become worth living.

Ok now I’ll explain what is 3R. 3R stands for Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. 3R is one of thousand ways to make our Earth Better ^_^

Reduce
Reduce is reduce everything that make a disadvantage for this environment, Otherwise reduce is reduce buying unnecessary thing such as unnecessary new clothes. Also reduce paper usage.

Reuse
Reuse is use a waste product to become more useful product. Example : buy a second hand product, give tight clothes to orphaned or to your brother/sister

Recycle
Recycle is recycling unuseful product to become a useful product. For example you can start from making a pot using unuseful bottle, making recycle unused detergent plastic etc.

ok i hope you can practice by yourself lol :D

"Dan ingatlah olehmu di waktu Tuhan menjadikam kamu pengganti-pengganti (yang berkuasa) sesudah kaum ´Aad dan memberikan tempat bagimu di bumi. Kamu dirikan istana-istana di tanah-tanahnya yang datar dan kamu pahat gunung-gunungnya untuk dijadikan rumah; maka ingatlah nikmat-nikmat Allah dan janganlah kamu merajalela di muka bumi membuat kerusakan." (QS. Al-A'raf :74)

Program One Man One Tree (Tree Planting Movement One man One Tree) has been declared by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to coincide with National Tree Planting Day, November 28, 2008. Powered by Presidential Decree No. 24 Year 2008 about National Tree Planting Day. Also appeal the President as stated in the Letter of the Minister of Forestry of Indonesia Number S.86/Menhut-V/2009.

With One Man One Tree movement was expected that every Indonesian people can support the program by planting a tree in their respective environment with the aim at encouraging people to continually cultivate planting trees. Tree Planting Movement One People One Tree (One Man One Tree) in 2009 proposed starting date of February 1st until the end of 2009.

Ideally, after a year of this program will last at least 238 million new trees grow. In accordance with the number of people in Indonesia this year (he said) to reach 238 million inhabitants. And this figure must be recognized as a very fantastic figure and has a big role of the earth and the environment. Primarily, of course, to reduce the impact of air pollution and global warming
