My green cover...

At the end of the day, with the sun resting and moon standing guard, i am here to give another post to my page. What is it about?  Should be a easy guess. Nothing complex with the topic this time. It is pretty simple and if you guessed it right, i am giving something about my green cover i.e., the amount of greenery i have given to this world. My best contribution irrespective of whatever be my daily or monthly or yearly routine. Wherever i go, i make sure i make my contribution to this wonderful planet and preserve nature. Ever since childhood, nature and its creations have kept me interested and equally involved. I am not of course talking about the tiny garden that i keep setting up within the compound. I am talking about something that can be seen through google's satellite imagery. Yes, trees. The green cover. The blanket that saves us all from the scorching sun with its shade and the suppliers of clean and fresh air to breathe and for me, a treat to watch it shed its old leaves and adore itself with lush green leaves every year. 

I live along with many other pollutants roaming on this planet but what is it that i can do to repair the damage that we do? or say, i do? How can i at least attempt at creating a break-even for this?
When i damage it, i should equally take responsibility and do something to repair it. I do pollute the air by burning fuel during my biking activities and sometimes commuting, i clear the weeds and remove unwanted plants from my garden, i consume nature's products in my everyday meal and so on. But, i can't just let the greenery fade off. Not that i am bothered about the upcoming generations. But, for the love i have on mother nature. A sense of gratitude for the life-saver of this planet. It is not possible for those who keep talking about measures. It is very much possible for those who talk less and act during the moment or say, create many such moments. 

I have lived in three different locations in my city so far. I have travelled to many places in the southern states of my country. What i have done so far is try and plant trees or protect the existing ones during my stay there. I have planted four trees so far in the streets. That is, in front of my old house and the place where i live currently. Come on, the other location where i lived was during the days of my early childhood when i played the role of a child.  Baby days, you know! Ever since i got this conviction for being a contributing factor for the fading greenery, i chose to repair it as well. I just wish how it'd be if everyone of us do the same or even better things to save and expand the greenery in our planet. 

Come on people, there are construction companies that violate building norms and keep creating deviations in their building plans. Although such structures are brought down sometime during the course of time, why not do the same to spread greenery? Just do your share of planting a tree. Let it be for the cause to save this planet. If the governmental agencies plan to cut it for some developmental work, the tree would have at least been there providing shade, fresh air and isn't it true that something is better than nothing? Instead of keeping your lanes barren, why not decorate it with trees? When you curse the sun for being so hot during your summer days, why not take the blame yourselves for having removed the green cover? Why not that guilt help us create a green planet? Although we can't overshadow the seas and change the name "blue planet", we can try and create a green cover to protect us from so many ill effects that we face in the absence of one. 

I have planted two neem trees that provide me with good shade that keeps my house cool during summer, that provides a play area for the squirrels, sparrows and nesting area for crows, that gives me the fresh evening breeze during evenings, that gives me a sense of pride to have done something good for my mother nature, that gives me medicinal effects when the air passes through the leaves of the tree and most importantly it has enhanced the view of my place in google maps (satellite view). My contribution is visible. So, will yours be. Why not take up this and give it a try? If you think you can, you can! I am sure you will.
