The increasing environmental degradation was continuously posing a serious threat to our globe and ruthless harvesting of the trees and forestry plus erosion of fertile lands due to floods were the basic reasons of ever soaring pollution of air, water and soils.

Trees and forestry were in-fact the beauty of our soil as well as it provided fresh and bulk of oxygen to all living beings in the earth.

[/fquote]“The cutting of a tree is equal crime like that of killing a human being to me”, even our true religion Islam has strictly forbidden us to harm or destroy standing crops and greenery during the state of wars with enemies. He further lamented that cutting a tree was a sport of moments but growing it needed decades and that was why the massive cutting of trees and our national neglect and lethargy in this respect converted lush green valleys into barren lands. “It is quite unfortunate that forests were depleted in the past regimes without any concern for the future generations while the criminal silence and collusions of rulers surfaced and shaped into timber mafia that needed immediate attention to check it on war footings”.

Growing more plants would not only impact our environment but it would also protect us from natural disasters like floods. Trees are an important part of every community. Our streets, parks, playgrounds and backyards are lined with trees that create a peaceful, aesthetically pleasing environment. Trees increase our quality of life by bringing natural elements and wildlife habitats into urban settings. We gather under the cool shade they provide during outdoor activities with family and friends.

Team Positive Pakistan is going to celebrate GREEN WEEK from ( 5th march to 12th march) and is coming up with another heavy compaign in all the cities of Pakistan to make people think what would happen if there were no trees left on earth ?

All it need is a start and POSITIVE PAKISTAN is going to do as much as we can.
