TREE ZONES
Cities have become smoke chambers, soil has become toxic and water is impure, all because we forgot to create a place in our lifestyles for our Life Creators & Maintainers - TREES.
The time has come that we as Individuals, Organisation or Govt. create Nature Zones called STZs (Special Tree Zones) where Native Trees are protected and we can experience a breath of fresh and clean air. We can fight the menace of pollution- Land, air & water if we all create a small space for Trees Zones instead of just grasses in our parks, compounds & work areas.
STZs (SPECIAL TREE ZONES) do not require huge piece of land. A small patch of even 100 sqm with cluster of Trees planted closely together can provide all the ecological services that we need for a healthy & happy living. These native tree zones can be created anywhere & everywhere. Around human habitats, road & parks or in someone's backyard too protecting urban environment.
We welcome Corporate, Government bodies, Communities for the joint ventures with us to create Special Tree Zones (STZs) in public places of the cities.
Trees Make Earth Livable
Environment consists of everything that makes Human life possible- Water, Air, Land , Climate etc. And Trees Fix & Regulate them all.
benefits of trees
Trees &Water
- Bring rainfall- 70 % of the atmospheric moisture comes from plants. Trees emit aerosols that help formation of water droplets. If they are missing, rainfall might not occur, or will occur less frequently.
- Act as sponge- The ‘sponge theory’ holds that forests soak up water during the rainy season and slowly release it during the dry season, thereby sustaining stream flow during dry periods preventing floods.
- Recharge aquifer & prevent runoffs- Tree roots attract ants, termites and worms that make soil porous for the water to flow through. Researches say they are the answer to low ground water level.
- Remove harmful pollutant-Toxic substances from water by breaking down into less harmful substance or completely eliminating them.
- Natural R.O -Water is also much cleaner when there are a lot of trees around. Their leaves, trunk, and roots are natural filters.
Trees &Air
- Trees are natural air-conditioners. Trees cool the city by up to 10°c. A tree can reduce AC need by 50%.
- Trees improve air quality by capturing six common air pollutants and toxic gases. A single tree can absorb 4.5 kg of air pollutants per year. The average reduction of particulate matter near a tree is between 7% and 24%.
- An acre of mature trees absorb the amount of CO2 produced when you drive your car 41000Kms.
- One mature trees can provide enough oxygen for 4 people for a day.
- Makes climate livable by reducing solar radiation & modifying temperature.
