Trees Are An Integral Part us – A Great Alert to the general public and the tree fellers
In this modern world, even the authorities are chopping down the trees in the name of development.
This post pinpoints the great damage we are causing to the very existence of human beings by cutting down trees around the world.The latest report by BBC news is indeed a shocking one (The city at war over its trees – BBC News)
Trees are integral part of us. Let’s preserve it.

Trees An Integral Part us Tree’s Role In Global Warming
Every year we celebrate the environment day on June 5th with a lot of fervor and activities. Our media, print and visual, put forward a lot of stuff in this connection about the coming peril, the alarming global warming. It was good that many could take some kind of precaution towards it.
Every year we celebrate the environment day on June 5th with a lot of fervor and activities. Our media, print and visual, put forward a lot of stuff in this connection about the coming peril, the alarming global warming.
It was good that many could take some kind of precaution towards it.
If the present lifestyle continues, no doubt we will be caught up in this peril. It is upsetting to note that cars, air-crafts, air conditioners, bulbs, etc… and the way of life that causes global warming.
If we go on at this rate, the level of heat increases and it will definitely be a great threat to the earth’s species as well as humans.
Trees an integral part of us – Tree planting and Climate change
Another report says that “the world has just 10 years to reverse surging greenhouse gas emissions or risk runaway climate change that could make any parts of the planet uninhabitable.” This is a great warning from the scientific world.
They conclude that unless mankind rapidly stabilizes greenhouse gas emissions and start reducing them, it will have little chance of keeping global warming within manageable limits.
The result could be great destruction. The present alarming high rate of oil addiction is yet another a great threat.
It is high time that we think seriously for a Great New Deal, that we must start the action needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions before we end up in disaster.
Trees are an integral part of the human race. The benefits we receive from a tree are many. It has been estimated that a palm tree is useful to man in more than 250 ways.
It is also estimated that an ordinary tree inhales approximately 14,000 liters of carbon dioxide, and exhales double the quantity of oxygen for human consumption and survival.
Sad to say, these days even the civic authorities are cutting down trees in the name of development. But unfortunately, many do not know the consequences of their negligent activities. The massacre of trees means putting an ax to the very existence of the human race.

No doubt, the continuous felling of trees will cause irreparable damage to the already perishing flora and fauna of our country.
The need of the hour is to carefully plan and plant more and more saplings in and around our dwelling place.
Check out this wonderful video below – A different celebration with Trees
A government school teacher celebrating her birthday with her school children by distributing tree sapling to each student.
A wonderful lesson to emulate by one and all.
Also, we need to seriously think about curtailing the felling of trees by implementing strict rules by the administration.
The truth is that it is more profitable to leave a tree standing than fell it.
A recent study says that “There is a direct loss of over Rupees fifty thousand per year for each tree that is cut or removed from its place. It is also estimated that one tree yields oxygen worth thirty thousand rupees.
If we cut trees at the current alarming rate, (Watch the video: The Australian Tree Cutter at the bottom of this knol) soon we will need to install oxygen manufacturing units in every corner of the nations, especially in the urban area which would cost a very high price that no government can afford.
Trees absorb water from the ground, and then through transpiration, transmit this water to air as water vapor. Thus, they help maintain the atmospheric equilibrium.
The study says another rupees ten thousand will be spent per tree on the other miscellaneous functions a tree performs preventing soil erosion, providing shade, food, fruit and of course, fuel (provided by the dead branches and manure made of decomposed leaves).
In short, the cost of replacing a single felled tree proves expensive indeed!
Just calculate the price of several thousand of trees removed from the earth every day all over the world. There is no doubt that this is a serious issue.
Trees Are An Integral Part of Us: What the Religious Texts Say:
Let us have a look at the religious texts in this connection, what it has to say on this:
Trees Are An Integral Part of Us What Hindu Scriptures Says
In the Bhagwad Gita Krishna says that our world is like a banyan tree that has different branches. These branches are where different species of humans and animals exist. It says, “A tree’s leaves, flowers, fruits, shades, roots, skin wood, pulp even the charcoal, everything, it gives to humans for their use.
In short, whatever they have they give it to others and they live a selfless life. How precious and satisfied are their lives”.
In the Padmapuranam, another Hindu Scripture, we read, “The one who plants a tree by the wayside is a blessed man. He receives the blessings from heaven as long as it bears flowers, leaves, and fruits”.
The tree was part and parcel of the human race from the very beginning.
It was so closely connected with human beings. Trees not only connected with human beings but the animal kingdom too depends on trees.
Trees Are An Integral Part of Us What Quran Says
The Quran also has numerous passages that describe the lush gardens and trees in heaven, highlighting their value not only in this world but their significance in the hereafter. There are several sayings from the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) that relate the importance of trees and plants in Islam.
Planting trees is regarded as an act of charity (sadaqa) and the planter receives blessings from all those who benefit from it:
Allah’s Messenger said, “There is none amongst the Muslims who plants a tree or sows seeds, and then a bird, or a person or an animal eats from it but is regarded as a charitable gift for him.”
Trees Are An Integral Part of Us What The Bible Says
In the Book of Genesis (the first book of the Bible) after the creation of man, Lord God said,
“Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to everything that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for food”. (Genesis 1:28-29).
“He planted a garden toward the east, in Eden; and there He placed the man whom He had formed. And out of the ground the Lord God caused to grow every tree that is pleasing to the sight and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:8-9).
Famous Personalities on Trees:

Poet Kabir wrote “Trees live a sacrificial life; soul body and everything they have they give to others with a sacrificial mind. They are the real munificent, they are the great benevolence. The ones who do service to such trees they receive God’s blessings”.
President Roosevelt said, “How sad will be a childless life! A nation without enough trees and greenery is also like a childless couple”.
Jawaharlal Nehru said, “Planting plants and trees and meeting its needs shows a nation’s welfare and wealthiness”.
Goutam Buddha said, “Trees are the best examples of selfless service. For their existence they never demand anything from anybody, instead, they provide many good things for the welfare of the people. Even the person who puts his ax on its bottom, it gives him shadow till its fall.
The Australian Tree Cutter – A YouTube Video
Watch this video: “The Tree cutter from Australia”.
Let the people who mercilessly cut the trees take note of the great danger they are causing. Here is a horrifying video that narrates how mercilessly the innocent trees are being killed in machine speed.
The Pumpkin Mourned a Death
She thus allowed it to remain where it was and since the family was not interested in cutting it down they almost forgot about it.
Days passed by, Chittamma fell sick and died.
It so happened that while we were all assembled near her death-bed, sad and morose, that pumpkin, in full view of her, broke itself off the creeper and rolled down from the thatched roof on to the ground below.
The fall almost to the minute coincided with her death.
Later, this pumpkin was used for her own post-death ceremonies on the suggestion of my friend’s father who felt that probably the pumpkin was being kept for this very special occasion.
Chittamma’s death and the coincidental death of the pumpkin still remain a mystery to me.
Death of Trees An experience of a Reader
“The mother of a friend of mine, (lovingly I call her ‘Chittamma’—mother’s younger sister) had planted a pumpkin creeper near their ancestral house compound at Valanjavattom near Thiruvalla (Kerala) that had a portion with a thatched roof.
Apart from this creeper many other plants and trees were growing in the same compound.
Chittamma was the one who lovingly took care of these plants and other small trees.
Every time, especially when the annual vacation or other holidays came, we all gathered together and played cricket and other games in their vast compound.
On such occasions, I used to notice her special care and love towards the plants and trees growing in the compound.
A pumpkin creeper had spread all over the roofing. A fairly big pumpkin had ripened.
Her husband suggested many times to cut it down for use, but she, for no apparent reason, always avoided it and used to change the topic by saying that there was no hurry and that it would be taken down when some special occasion arose.
Here is another similar incidents in response to the above incident after publishing it in a newspaper.
These incidents happened a few years back. Let me put it in his own words:
“We were living in the village in Bhagathpur district of Bihar State.
My father, grandfather, and uncle planted a mango sapling, a guava sapling, and an apple sapling respectively in our family courtyard. Other trees and plants were also growing in the same compound.
They have given all the necessary care to grow these plants; my mother also actively helped them in watering these plants. It grew well and started giving fruits.
A few years later my grandfather went to Varanasi in connection with our family business.
In the year 1957, he expired at Varanasi, the same week the guava plant he planted in the village dried up.
This is not an isolated incident.
In the year 1960, my father also went to Varanasi. The day he departed the village in Bihar the mango tree he planted started withering and in a few days’ time it completely dried up.
A few years later my uncle also died at Varanasi, and the apple plant he planted in the village also died the same week”.
These incidents may be amazing and unbelievable to many of you. But no doubt there is some mystery behind the death of these plants and trees.
This type of strange reactions of plants and trees need a little rethinking.
Maybe they are also capable of sorrow and happiness. Sometimes science may not recognize this as fact.
There are many references in literature that plants too have feelings.
But this is not convincing as poets and writers have a world of their own, where birds and animals’ talk and smile etc.
The incident which I witnessed may not be enough for a scientific theory. But I firmly believe that many such instances and their statistical analysis might yield some positive results.
At the same time, it is more difficult to arrive at a scientific conclusion if our observations are added with emotions and presumptions are drawn with a biased mind.
It would not be out of place to say that plants are at a very low level of consciousness when compared to animals.
Pain, pleasure, longing, love, hatred, kindness, contentment and sympathy are the feelings of higher forms of life.
Association of higher feelings with a lower level of consciousness sometimes may not appear convincing.
Tree Suicide: A YouTube Video:
Though human beings are trying to eliminate these innocent beings in high speed for their personal interest, the trees love them and extend their limitless service to human beings till their death.
Yet another interesting fact is that there are some trees that take the extreme steps of suicide.
It is believed and established that even some animals commit suicide.
“Springbock” animals in the Southern African forests kill themselves.
This they do for the existence of their coming generations.
Scientists too say that they do this for their new generations’ welfare. ‘Spring Bock’ animals are from the deer family, they join in a group and suddenly jump into the water and die.
Humans commit suicide because of frustrations, love failure, financial instability and even due to dreadful diseases, etc.., but these animals, when their number increases they die for the welfare of their coming generations.
They are paving the way for their younger ones, this is the scientific community found on these animals’ mass death.
There are some cases noted that even trees commit suicide. Robin B Foster, from the University of Chicago Press (the chief of biology department in Chicago University) in his ten years of research, found out that even some trees suicide.
A tree named “Rackygaaliya vercikkolor” kills itself a year after its flowering.
These trees are mostly found in the island of Baaro Colorado’.
In the year 1970 eighteen trees flowered the first time and they produced fruits and later suicide.
In the year 1974, for study purposes, he marked 430 trees out of which 80 flowered and produced fruits and later died. Robin B Foster says they do this for the existence of its generations.
The Pumpkin story and other death of the trees mentioned in the above incidents show that they have feelings like human beings.
Joan Klostermann-Ketels in her recently released book “PersonaliTrees” (eight-year labor of love) says “Trees are sentient beings”, and each tree in this book stopped me in my tracks. They took my breath away. They have stories to share. All we have to do is be present.”
“Let the Human Spirit Awaken in the Presence of Trees Have you ever taken a walk, looked at a tree and had it look back at you?
You just had an encounter with a “PersonaliTree”. Sometimes you can feel its stare following you until you are safely out of its visual grasp. You wonder about its history, its memory, what formed the image that touched you so much you couldn’t take your eyes off it.
Every tree has a face, a story, and a personality! One needs only to take a walk in the woods to see beauty, contortion, loveliness and hardship in the form of trunks and branches and marvel at each unique design, formed by nature’s fury and grace.”

Instead of being present to feel their feelings we often destroy them for our selfish interests.
But there are many exceptions to this, there are a good number of people especially in India give much importance and respect to these silent servants (service providers).
A majority of them in the Hindu religion give respect to nature and especially to the trees.
Trees have a major role in their daily worship services.
In Hindu mythologies trees have been a prominent place and have given deep and sacred meanings.
Though it may look strange to some these type of respect is deeply associated with faith.
Ancient sacred writings reveal that tree worship was an age-old practice in the Hindu religion.
Aryans worshiped all kinds of plants and trees, this practice continues to be part and parcel of Hindu worship services till today.

Yet another Earth Day 22nd April—passed by, Tree lover
s and environmentalists did their part to promote their cause by planting tree saplings and various other connected activities.
Let us continue to do this and many other things like avoiding usage of plastic bags, instead buy and use personal care natural products, use only reusable bags, limit the use of water, like uncontrollable usage of showers, vessels, cloth washing, etc.
If we take little more care in our daily activities we can control the usage of water and thereby help the mother earth to survive.
Let us be more careful while using water in our daily life.
Trees Are An Integral Part of Us, Let Us Save Them For Us As Well As To The Future Generation Share on XLimit the usage of the personal vehicle instead take a bus trip or share a vehicle, by this, one can reduce the emission of air pollution.
If each one does this there will be a tremendous cut in the environmental air pollution.
Let this be a practice in our daily life not only on such particular days but also in our everyday life.

This will definitely be a help in saving our earth from a quick ruin.
The best part of all these is each one plant a tree that will make a great difference in our environmental pollution as well as our own existence on this earth.
In the above picture, as part of a religious ceremony, Indian women plant new saplings, and their little girl keenly watching.
Forty-one years back in 1970 Gaylord Nelson a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin after seeing the 1969 massive oil spill with a much-burdened heart initiated this movement.
On April 22 that year 20 million Americans participated in that movement.
And by 1990 Earth Day went global and the people around the world are aware of it and very religiously participating every year on this day (April 22) with various activities to promote this cause.

Social websites and major search engines are promoting this year (2011) earth day in a massive way, Yahoo on one of its post (Solar Trumps Recycling: Searches on Yahoo! Indicate Green Living, Organic Trends & Freebies Define Earth Day 2011) on Thursday said that:
“This month searches on Yahoo Green for “solar energy” are up 208 percent while inquiries for “wind power” are up 1,307 percent.” Read more here at this blog post

The latest developments in my city – Hyderabad
The latest news on these issues is that The Times of India’s yesterdays (15th April) edition published a news item under the title “Trees get ax effect for Rosaiah’s heli-hop” the news says, “Chief Minister K Rosaiah may not have used his helipad adjacent to the Secretariat even once, but overzealous officials thought it was best that the area around it was cleared.
So, as many as 24 trees on the footpath in front of the helipad were axed late on Tuesday night, to ensure that the CM enjoys a smooth chopper ride, in case he proposed to fly out from here.
City environmentalists staged a dharna (protest march) at the spot on Wednesday and said that the felling was carried out by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) as the trees may have caused hindrance to the CM’s chopper.
The trees were identified as Gulmohar, neem, and peltophorans.”
The tree lovers raised a protest against such actions, they say, “They could have opted for trans-location if it was such a necessity. Why chop them so ruthlessly?” environmentalists questioned.”
These are some of the serious issues happening all over the world, the people who cut or fell the trees should find an alternative arrangement to raise or plant more trees.
The tree lovers should join together and form such forums to save trees from the destructive hands of these cruel people.
The people who initiate removing trees from this earth should take note that they are putting an ax on the very existence of their life. Let them plant more sapling in its place.
Planting of saplings through school and college level will make a big difference to this serious threat. Let us introduce awareness programs at school and university levels.
The tree lovers group or forums, and of course the media print and web, can play a vital role in this to promote this awareness among people.

I must apologize for taking so long to thank you for including the information about my book “PersonaiTrees” in you post!This is my first book and I had no idea what was involved in publishing a book–so I have been busy trying to keep up with an unanticipated schedule of signings and interviews and working on finishing up Book # 2 in the series for publication next Spring (meaning a deadline at the end of this month).Just know that I am grateful to you for your energy and time spent on our tree friends!! Keep up the great work!

Excellent Knol
This is a very good excellent knol and its layout is superb.May I ask what happened with the KAF contest, apply, then withdraw… WHY all of this moves.. It is just a contest and the membership to KAF is optional, it is not a mustBest regards,
Moharram
Thanks for the encouraging note.That was an attempt by one of my co-author MD without the consent of me or any other coauthors. When I explained him about the situation, at once he withdraw it.Since I am a member of KPG and KPG is one of the co-authors I thought its better to be apart from that contest conducted by KAF. Since most of the KPG members disassociate with KAF I thought its better not to post and MD agreed to me and he withdraw the same and posted and apology too, accordingly KAF accepted it too.Mak, I too made my stand on this at the comment column. Since you raised the issue again I wrote this much. Mak, I would like to put a full stop to this conversation on this issue. I am really sorry for the slip happened.We wish you all the best for the contest and its participantsWith all Good Wishes
Yours sincerely,

An easy to do small tip when text is gluing on an image:In “Edit mode”: click the image and chose “right” when the image was “left” orientated and than again “left” and so on… The text will than become again “free” from the image and not “gluing” on the image. There might be also an other solution, but that is an easy one which I am using also, it’s a quick solution. No idea why fore this happens in Knol?Best regards,

“Moderated comments” is the best solution You can make. Comments will only show up when You allow them, they will be visible first to You and not to all the visitors.Only when You agree the content of the comments visitors will see the comments. The best solution to avoid that “bad intentioned” people (trolls) bring their graffiti on knols ;-)Best regards,

A small trick, use text links, please. Thus meaning:- Go to the link who is representing the source of the image.- Make a “right-click” with the mouse on that link and chose “copy link”- put a small text under the images.- mark the text with the mouse.- click on “Link” above in the Editor bar.- click on “web address”.- Insert the link by clicking with the mouse in the field and than click on “OK”.So, under Your images will be a “textlink”, a small text when clicking on it will bring You to the origin of the image.I made an example under the first shown image ;-) Leave it up to you for doing the others, a bit practice…You may also have a look here http://knol.google.c

This is really very informative and educative, thanks a lot for the step by step guidance, and the example. wonderful, I will put this into practice.

I wish to encourage you to go further in your research and make this Knol a comprehensive and authoritative record of spiritual and historical guidance on the significance and importance of our tree canopy.This is a good start. I encourage you to read “Silent Spring” by Rachael Carson and to factor in some of her wisdom, which is credited as the wellspring of the environmental movement: http://en.wikipedia.
Thank you very much for the encouraging note, and yes, I am working on it and hope that like my philately one it may lead to some heights LOL

A very timely and nice Message to everyone. Yes, there is no doubt that, trees are an integral part our lives, and it can do many wonders in out life. As mentioned in the post, it is useful to human as well as the animal kingdom. It also helps us to control or reduce the environmental problems or Global warming.
I like your website and writing style. Keep writing

Very interesting read.
No doubt, trees and plants too have life and they can sense very well.
The pumpkin story as well as the other death of trees are really worth debatable.
Yes, our population expands beyond 7 billion, and our tree-felling habits and environmental devastation have become lethal — and increasingly suicidal. We are making Earth less hospitable for hundreds of species, including our own generations.
It is high time that we need to think seriously and protect our trees and plants.
Hi Philip,
What an amazing and interesting story!
As someone pointed out through the Comments, yes, his mother’s deep love towards trees and plants sensed that creeper and it expressed it’s love to its mentor.
This and other incidents noted here really shows that trees and plants too have feelings.
Through different research and experiments I think it’s is proved that plants too have life and feelings.
Not only that our poets and scholars are written scores of writings which also prove this!
Some may say, those are pure imaginations of our writers.
Anyways, these incidents are worth debatable and put it into a reaearch.
Philip, I like your writing, will come again to read your lovely sharings! And of course your website is really good and eyecapturing one.
I bookmarked it for my further visit.
Keep writing.
Thanks.
Hi Admin,
A very timely post.
Global warming is indeed a serious issue to think about. Even the developed nations are not bothered about its serious implications it creates.
In this regard as you mentioned our natural resources especially the ? s can do a great part in curtailing the rate of increasing air pollution.
As the title very aptly you put it:
Yes,indeed, “Trees Are An Integral Part Of Our Lives. Don’t Destroy Them
Thanks for this great alert and shout out.
Keep sharing.
Yes, Trees are an integral part of human life. From the time immemorial human beings are connected with trees. And he can’t separate from trees as many resources he obtains from it for his daily life. Not only that it can play a great role in environmental issues which now the nation is facing. Trees can really play a good role in controlling environmental pollution. Thanks for this great reminder and alert. Yes, never stop move on and Succeed!|
It was really insightful.
Thanks for such an awareness post.
Yes,mi fully agrees with you that trees can play an important role in the existence of human life.
You very well brought out this truth.
I am sure the readers will make note of all the points mentioned in this post to save our new generation. Indeed a nice content to note for all
Cheers
Hello,
This blogs needs to get more views
as it gives such a great message to save our environment.
Thank you and keep on sharing more such articles. That is really the need of the hour.
Trees are my friends. I’ve planted many on my property: catalpas, various oaks, several types of maples, cherry trees, etc. I love the catalpas most, but I enjoy just being around a lot of greenery (even if it’s only green six months a year)

David Leonhardt recently posted…Proofreading saves lives! How a celebrity chef became a cannibal
very useful information to the general public. Yes, there is no doubt that trees are an integral part of human life. From the very beginning of the human race, trees had a role to play in relation to their existence. In fact, that is still continuing, and it can really play a wonderful role in our daily life. This post really brought out the various customs and other related activities revolve around the human race.
It is really interesting to know more about the different customs and traditions the Indian Hindu community follows. That’s really a piece of interesting information to me. Keep sharing.
May you have a great time of sharing such human interesting stories.
Hi Philip,
I am so glad to be on your site today. In fact, I was searching for something I found this on Google’s front page and I landed here. I am really surprised to know the amazing things about trees.Thank you so much for sharing informative information!!!
Currently, the problem we face worldwide is Global Warming which has its effects on animals, agriculture and even on human beings are really frightening. Here are some reasons of causing global warming.
One of the major causes of global warming is Deforestation. As we all know that the polluted air released by the vehicle should be purified by the trees, due to deforestation the trees are destructed and become the cause for Global warming. It is important to avoid deforestation as tree play an important role in absorbing the polluted air and releases the harmless oxygen to us.
This is indeed a wonderful share!
Yes, trees can curtail a lot of pollution human created.
Trees are most valuable in relation to human existence. A lot of information packed content. Global warming is a serious subject to deal with, but we are least bothered and we cut our trees in the name of development.
I fully agree with your inputs.
Keep sharing such educative contents.
Thanks

Destruction of forest cover and the environment has led to the reality of global warming that we are facing. Weather patterns have become unpredictable. Trees are indeed very important for the survival of mankind and animals. We must take care of our habitat. Nice and well articulated article
Hello Philip,
Thanks for writing such a nice article. Trees along with other natural things are something we should take care of because when you mess with nature, you mess with your own environment, and it directly or indirectly impacts you for sure.
Increasing population is one big problem that we have to think about because of the increasing population, people need more space for their homes, offices, and thus, forests are destroyed and flats, multi-story buildings are being built there.
This is not an issue that a government can fix. Everyone needs to think and take actions about it.
Thanks.

Hey Philip,
Trees make Earth fit for the survival of human beings and other living organisms. They provide us air to breathe, food to eat and shelter to live.
They play a major role in keeping us alive and providing us a comfortable living. We must plant more and more trees to ensure a clean and green environment and promote healthy living.
Trees are an important part of every community. Our streets, parks, playgrounds and backyards are lined with trees that create a peaceful, aesthetically pleasing environment.
Trees increase our quality of life by bringing natural elements and wildlife habitats into urban settings. We gather under the cool shade they provide during outdoor activities with family and friends.
Many neighborhoods are also the home of very old trees that serve as historic landmarks and a great source of town pride. Trees control climate by moderating the effects of the sun, rain and wind.
The main reason we like trees is because they are both beautiful and majestic. Eventually, thanks for sharing your worthy thought on worthy topic.
With best wishes,
Amar Kumar

I love trees as they’re part of nature and soothing to the eye and soul. When I’m nervous, I go out and walk in the nearby woods and feel refreshed.

Hi,
I appreciate that someone has the same love of nature, in particular, trees, as me. I just planted 10 new ones on my acreage and try to save every tree I see from the neighbours who just cut everything down 2-3 times a week.
All the best to you.

When my parents bought their house, there was only 1 tree and it has since had to be uprooted due to interfering with pavement. However, since moving in, my parents have planted 5 trees in their garden. A pine tree, a maple, 2 apple trees, and a cherry tree all grow on their property. My mom also has bird feeders all over the place. My mom’s garden has become a food court for wildlife. Hummingbirds, cardinals, sparrows, squirrels, rabbits, even deer have been spotted in the yard.
