DANGER LOOMS, PLANT A TREE TODAY TO AVERT DANGER
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Dear Friends,

Our world is gradually changing. This changes are as a result of our activities as human; either positive or negative. I learnt that the huge production of carbon gases and nitrogenous gases by us is gradually wearing away our world. With about 1.4 to 5.8 degree centigrade envisaged as the rising temperature of the earth by 2100, we are sure to experience more heat than usual.

This will lead to the melting of land ice in cold regions, increase and decrease in rainfall resulting into droughts or landslide and floods, unpredictable changes in the frequency and intensity of extreme climatic condition leading to natural disasters (hurricanes, brushfires, ocean surges and landslides), and the resulting natural disasters cause economic losses, population displacements, communal crisis and migration (ecological refugees).

In the last few years, we have witnessed rapid changes of this nature in various part of the world. The extreme temperature leading to wildfire in California, the Lagos Bar beach erosion, earthquake in China, Hurricane Katrina, Tsunami, the list is endless. We will not however experience positive changes unless we act now!

One of the ways by which we can mitigate the effects of Climate change and global warming is to plant trees. Planting of trees will absorb and store carbon, provide food and shelter. Planting of trees have proven to be extremely useful in this wise.

We can also change our lifestyle. We can prefer to take public transport if the need to take our own car isn’t necessary, we can also walk or use a bicycle if our destination isn’t much of a distance. We can prefer to travel in one car instead of travelling in multiple cars when we are actually very few travelling. We can also choose to switch off the light if it is not in use or choose to turn off the tap when it is not in use; this are but a few ways we can help to mitigate the effects of climate change.
Other ways could be help stop tobacco smoking, industrial pollution and limit the use of generators.

I have decided to plant 40 trees as advised by the specialist, and I advise you all to do the same. This will help in alleviating the trend.

Please, take my advise and help our children and the coming generation live in a better world at least, a world of moderate climatic conditions.

Best regards,
