If you think for one year, please sowing the seeds. If you are thinking ten years ahead, plant a tree.
The sentence above is a wise Chinese proverb that has been around since 500 years before Century. In days past it was very well aware of the importance of trees. It is arguably ironic, because at that time, the number of trees that cover the earth’s surface relatively more from now. Also, the level of development that causes the pollution is still not as high as today. However, the presence of a tree is well aware of its benefits, reflected in the wise words above.
Let us be a bit thoughtful. Why is a tree that was so important, to the extent seen as “adequate provisions” to live the next ten years? The answer is none other is because a tree is not able to provide many benefits. In the past, the tree is a provider of shelter, food, and firewood for people. Now, at times more complex forms of life, the role of trees were also growing. Here are some reasons why the tree is very useful for human life.
1. Reducing the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect caused by CO2 gas pollutants that escape into the air and accumulates in the atmosphere. Tree is a “glutton” CO2 is greedy.
2. Improving the quality of ground water. Trees reduce surface runoff (run-off), because the roots absorb water that falls to the ground. More water is absorbed into the ground means more opportunities to improve the quality and quantity of ground water. This also reduces ground water contamination by chemicals in the soil surface.
3. Trees clean the air we breathe. Dust particles, CO, SO2, and other pollutants-pollutants will be absorbed by the plants so we can breathe better air quality.
4. Dry and hot air can be overcome by planting trees. The trees will add to the humidity of the atmosphere and could ultimately reduce water consumption (eg for watering the plants).
5. Reduce soil erosion, especially on sloping land. When rain falls, the tree roots will absorb water. If nothing is absorbed, the water that flows in the surface layer of soil will be brought along, especially the fertile topsoil.
6. If calculated on the whole, the trees that grow in a city can be “cool” cities. Cities are heat islands (heat island) where the temperature 5-9 degrees higher than sub-urban areas. And every year, the city tends to expand into suburban areas. Thus, heat islands are created in the long run bigger.
7. The trees are planted near bodies of water to prevent silting of water bodies and refinement.
8. Conditions of urban slums and arid can be improved by planting trees and a garden city.
9. Reduce stress. Having tired of working all day? Perhaps very convenient if when he got home we were greeted by a beautiful green garden.
10. Earth hotter conditions, apparently also affects the temperament of people who increasingly hard and brutal. This primarily occurs in urban areas that are having fewer wooded area. Trees can provide an environment which is more cool, comfortable and relaxed. This condition is psychologically will help “cool” urban human temperament.
11. Planting trees and shrubs will significantly reduce noise pollution, especially for homes located on the edge of a busy highway.
12. Trees are also potentially producing a gentle breeze from the leaves which gives the effect of friction comfortable for the occupants of the house.
13. The image of the tree canopy can reduce the effects of glare from the road and car park plus make it cooler.
14. Leaf litter falling tree when mildew and rot will form a fertile layer of humus soil and improve quality of growing media for plants.
15. By planting trees, you pass something meaningful for your children and grandchildren.
