Eight reasons, why we should plant trees in this monsoon

Ashoka the great is not only respected for his sword skills and as great worrier but also for his social administration skills and as a visionary. His love for nature hasn't got the coverage that it deserves. He planted trees in his entire empire and his neighboring countries. And, became the first king in the human history to ban deforestation. It shouldn't come as a surprise to us, it was exactly more than twelve hundred years ago. Probably, there would have been more trees at that time and dense forests but there is no sign of, he took it for granted. And went for huge forestation, planted tree along the roads and also spread the awareness among people. In twelve hundred years only thing that reduced is trees. Population has grown from 150 million to more than 6 billion in these years. That's a serious and enough statistics one should know. If Ashoka the Great can understand importance of plantation at that time, no reason for us to make judgment today. We being part of profound society we need different inspiring reasons every time for everything, so, here are eight candid reasons why we should plant trees in this monsoon

1. MLK Quote

"Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree." - Martin Luther King

When MLK wrote this quote he din't assume that trees aren't good metaphors of hope because it won't have much value after 50 years. Those who think this quote is great and comes from the social hero. This quote deserve at least one tree from everyone of us.

2. Electricity is shortage and rising prices

Everybody loves air cooled but now its comes at higher costs. Load-shading in summer isn't undesirable. No electricity and no air cooled that's not livable condition. Trees can serve you there, they have great capacity of keeping the environment clean cool. Off-course some basics here but you can always dust off the cliché.

3. To be a part of sensitive society

We might have killed too many plants for our convenience just by using abundant use papers and wood. So next time you plant a tree and if you happen to watch them grow you would realize, it takes years to grow a complete tree. That could work as a sensitivity booster for us.

4. You will know what places are left un-constructed

Most places in city are occupied by construction and workplaces. This is best time see which places are leftover. Its delight to see un-constructed place for the people who's trying to purchase flats or plots. That's surely a motivation.

5. Some self-respect

We talk about everything almost everything. We have too many solutions for a single matter. But pragmatic stats doesn’t help as far as course of actions is concerned. This might be opportunity to do some walk the talk and some moral. You might want to talk with your kids next morning with proud that you did something good yesterday.

6. Political advantage

Some of us want to make seek political advantage of everything, so, plantations make a best opportunity to flash news. It helps build good will and people start respecting you for initiating such a noble work. They might not trouble their brains to understand your partisan intentions. For sure you will get some attention for your pompous manifestation.

7. Nature's rescheduling

It's already late but if nature decides to re-estimate deadline of sabotage, your single tree might help the planet. No harm in doing this favor to you and next human genesis.

8. Green color

If we plant more trees results in more greenery, medical science explains you the benefits of green color. It’s helpful for dissolving blood clots, stimulating the brain, it reduces stress and balances and soothes emotion.

No matter what of above inspires you, nothing should stop us from planting trees this monsoon. Raising self above moronic behavior is the biggest challenge of our generation. Time to overcome this phobia and put some time in saving human creed. No voodoo going to happen, it’s you and me.
