• Provides natural habitat for birds and many species of wildlife.
• Provides shade from sun and shelter from wind.
• Process carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
• Clean and improve air we breathe.
• Bare audible fruits.
• Beautify sorroundings.
• Reduce urban heat.
• Offer environmental benifits.
• The planting of trees means improved water quality.
• Trees protect the soil from erosion.
• It supports and enhance biodiversity.

       When you are planting trees, you are doing more than just planting trees. You are creating habitat for many species of wildlife and contributing for the benifit of our environment and of the people and most of all, reducing the negative impact of human on the environment.

       Trees were planted because it provide beauty and shade. People like trees because it makes life more pleasant by simply observing its beauty. People feel peaceful, restful, tranquil, and fresh every time they are in a grove of trees.  They feel cool and fresh every time they stay in the shade of trees and are not exposed to direct sunlight.

       Trees alter the environment by moderating the climate, improving the quality of air which human and animals breathe, conserving water and harboring wildlife. It helps moderate the effects  of sun, wind and rain.

       Radiant energy from the sun is deflected by leaves and filtered by branches of trees. It helps moderate the heat caused by crowded buildings, cars, factories and many other. The leaves of trees filter the air people breathe by removing the dust and improving the air quality. It also absorbs carbon doixide, carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide and gives off oxygen.

       By plating trees, we are switching into natural and green environment.

SHOCKING FACTS ABOUT PLASTICS

• Plastic bags are made of polyethylene
• Polyethylene is a petroleum product
• Production contributes to air pollution and energy consumption
• 4-5 trillion plastic bags are manufactured every year
• It takes 1000 years for a polyethylene to break down
• As polyethylene break down, toxic substances leach into the soil and enter the food chain
• Approximately, 1 billion sea birds and mammals die per year by indigesting plastic bags
• Plastic bags are often mistaken as food by mammals.                                                                                   
• Plastic bags choke landfills
• Plastic bags are carried by the wind into the forest, ponds, rivers, and lakes.
• Burning plastics leads to thinning of ozone layer.
• Improper disposal results to blockage of drainage.

SAY NO TO PLASTIC BAG!

       "Plastics" derived its name from its properties to be molded, cast, extruded or processed into a variety of forms. It do not decompose easily because plastics are made of polyethylene. It takes 1000 years for polyethylene to break down.


       Plastic bags are cheap to produce or cost less, durable, water resistant, have different sizes that suits to peoples need and it is also convenient. Plastic bags are indeed useful. But despite of its uses, it brings lots of hazards because of its method of disposal which creates  pollution problems.


       Burning of  plastics leads to the creation of noxious fumes, such as carbon monoxide. Noxious fumes have a detrimental effect to the ozone layer which prevents the harmful rays of the sun from entering the atmosphere. The thinning of this layer has increased incidences of skin cancer and has therefore, been vital cause of the problem "global warming".


       The land get littered by plastic bag garbage presenting an ugly and unhygienic seen. Its improper disposal results to blockage of drainage system which creates unhygienic environment resulting in health hazard and spreading of water borne diseases. This littering also reduces rate of rain water percolating, resulting in lowering of water levels. The soil fertility  deteriorates as the plastic bags remains in the soil for years. Plastic also goes into to ocean which infested body water.


       Practice to limit the use of plastic bags because it has detrimental effects on the environment. MAKE DIFFERENCE BY MAKING RESPONSIBLE CHOICE. There are many alternatives to plastic.
