THE VALUE OF A TREE

A tree that lives for 50 years generates:

Rs. 5.3 lakhs worth of oxygen,
recycles Rs. 6.4 lakhs worth of fertility and soil erosion control,
creates Res. 10.5 lakhs worth of air pollution control,
Rs. 5.3 lakhs worth of shelter for birds and animals.

Besides, it provides flowers, fruits and lumber.

So, when even one tree falls or is felled, the city loses something worth more than Rs. 32 lakhs.

THINK BEFORE YOU CUT A TREE
