Carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas, is the main pollutant that is warming earth globally. Living things emit carbon dioxide when they breathe. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is widely considered to be a pollutant, when associated with bikes, cars, lorries, planes, power plants, and other human activities that involve burning of fossil fuels such as gasoline and natural gas in industries and manufacturing units. 1 litre of diesel/petrol produces 2.6/2.3 kg of CO2, and just imagine how many liters of fuel is being burnt in the world as 30 billion tones CO2 is being emitted and how rapidly it spreads around the world. In the past 150 years, such activities have pumped enough carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere to raise its levels higher than have been for hundreds of thousands of years. The increase in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere leads to smog which can restrict sunlight from reaching earth. Thus preventing plants in the process of photosynthesis. The increase of carbon dioxide in the air will decrease the quality of air we breathe in, which leads to several respiratory problems including asthma or lung cancer amongst others.
Each year millions of people around the world die prematurely from air pollution. Many affected by rising health costs and a decline in quality of life. It is unifying in the threat it poses to people, planet and prosperity. There is a need to use technology to begin sucking large quantities of CO2 directly from the air. Trees alone probably can not do the job. We are also basing to set up FIRST CO2 Plant in India to pull CO2 from the air and store and use it to help plants grow faster.UN Environment and the World Health Organization have agreed a new, wide ranging collaboration to accelerate action to curb environmental health risks that cause an estimated 12.6 millions deaths a year. United Nations Framework Convention of Climate Change - The Paris Agreement, a voluntary agreement among 118 nations ratified on November 4th, 2016, is one effort being enacted on a global scale to combat climate change. As part of the agreement each country agreed to take measures to combat climate change, with the ultimate goal of keeping the post - industrial global temperature rise below two degrees celcius. India is one among the 118 nations and has deposited its instrument of ratification, acceptance, approval or accession.
The government of India announced in COP21 its long term goal to bring 33% of India's geographical area under forest cover by 2030 and also to create additional carbon sink of 2.5 to 3 billion tons of CO2 equivalent through additional forest and tree cover by the same time. 1 tree absorbs 48 pounds every year (approx 1 ton in its lifetime) and there is a need to plant 2.5 to 3 billion trees. We promote tree planting to supplement government of India efforts to protect our environment which is for a common benefits and not for a private gain. Every day we are polluting our environment and the biggest threat to the environment is the belief/notion that someone else will save it. We all breathe in oxygen, and this oxygen is provided by trees. Trees are absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. Today we and our lifestyle (Vehicles, factories, offices, homes and Kitchen etc.) are emitting more and more amount of Carbon dioxide in the air and are polluting our environment. Trees are the only source that absorb carbon dioxide and are providing us oxygen that we breathe in every day. Other hand, how many trees are being cut every day.
We have set an ambitious goal of planting 125 crores trees to reduce carbon in the environment. We are expanding our network extensively and we are sure we will achieve this ambitious goal, but we need public involvement nationwide. Daily more and more trees are being cut and deforestation has to be reduced. There is a need to restore the tree so as to maintain balance in the atmosphere and environment. Tree cutting can be reduced if we start adopting trees, because in rural area many people are using fire wood for the cooking. And if we support weaker section of the society, and provide livlihood, suport to them with a cooking stove so that they should not do cooking with fire wood. We also encourage tree adoption to reduce deforestation. Let us be an asset to the environment, not a liability. We all should put our efforts to offset carbon (reduce carbon emissions) and plant more trees. . If you are not supporting a carbon reduction project, then you should not emit more carbon in the air and pollute the environment. Support our tree planting initiative and need not feel guilty of pollution. More information about trees and the carbon sequestration are as under;
Trees help our soil remain healthy by reducing soil erosion and by creating a soil climate suitable for microorganism to grow.
There are over 23,000 different kinds of trees in the world.
A healthy tree can increase your property value by as much as 27 percent while trees with dead branches, hollow cavities and other problems can decrease your property value.
Evergreen trees are green year round because they do not lose all of their leaves in one season. Most will however lose some of their oldest leaves just before they produce new leaves in the spring. Some will lose part of their leaves in the fall.
A tree can absorb as much as 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year and can sequester 1 ton of carbon dioxide by the time it reaches 40 years old.
Tree leaves are composed of many colored pigments -- green chlorophyll hides them during the spring and summer growing seasons. Shorter days and cool temperatures in the fall cause the chlorophyll to break down and the other pigments to be seeing.
Tree wood is a highly organized arrangement of living, dying, and dead cells.
Hundreds of food products (fruit, coffee, nuts, etc.) and food additives (for ice cream, chewing gum, etc.) come from trees.
One large tree can lift up to 100 gallons of water out of the ground and discharge it into the air in a day.
One large tree can provide a day's supply of oxygen for up to four people.
Each year, one person uses wood and paper products equivalent to a 100 foot tree 18 inches in diameter.
Over 5,000 products are made from trees.
Trees are included in most religions. Some hold certain trees sacred; other use trees to help teach beliefs. The story goes that Buddha received his enlighten under the wisdom tree.
Each year over 600,000 people travel to Macon, Georgia to see 240,000 cherry trees in bloom. The estimated revenue is over $6.5 million dollars per year.
Trees trap more of the sun's energy than any other group of organisms on earth -- they are in essence big batteries -- the largest on earth. Only 0.1% of the sun's energy is trapped by organisms -- trees account for 50% of all energy trapped by organism.
Almost 98% (by weight) of a tree is made up of six elements: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur.
Tree growth occurs in specialized tissues referred to as meristems. This tissue is found at the tips of leaves and shoots. Growth in diameter occurs at the vascular cambium inside the stem.
If a birdhouse is hung on a tree branch, it does not move up the tree as the tree grows.
Trees need food to grow but you can't buy food for them. They make their own food from sunlight, water, carbon dioxide and nutrients from the soil.
Trees do not grow beyond their ability to support themselves. During periods of stress they shed leaves, flowers, fruit and/or branches.
Trees do not restore and repair wood that is injured and infected -- instead they compartmentalize off the damaged tissue. New cells are not produced to replace the damaged cells.
A hollow in a tree is never greater than the diameter of the tree at the time it was injured. It should not spread into the new growth that occurs after the tree was injured.
A tree branch is not actually attached to the rest of the tree. It is held in place by a series of interlocking "collars". Collars overlap and mesh to form a tight woven pattern of tissue.
During periods of increased or decreased temperature, cracks may develop in the tree trunk -- referred to as frost cracks and sun cracks. Both can lead to decay.
Each year trees produce an increment of new growth that covers growth from the previous year.
The age of a tree can be determined by the number of growth rings. The size of the growth ring is determined in part by environmental conditions - temperature, water availability.
Tree trunk cells produced in the spring are larger, have thinner walls and are lighter in color than cells produced in the summer.
Bark is the protective covering of a tree. The outer bark is composed of dead cells. The bark will often split as the trunk diameter increases.
Different parts of the tree grow at different times of the year. A typical pattern is for most of the foliage growth to occur in the spring, followed by trunk growth in the summer and root growth in the fall and winter. Not all trees follow the same pattern.
Tree roots do not grow very deep. Most tree roots are in the top 12 inches of soil.
Tree roots often extend two to three times the width of the tree.
Roots do not have green chlorophyll.
Roots store more starch than the trunk.
Roots do not have a central pith (soft central tissue) while the trunk does.
The majority of tree roots are non-woody. These root hairs grow within days of when water, temperature, and nutrients are available to promote growth. These non-woody roots only live for a few weeks.
Non-woody tree roots can grow almost any time the soil is not frozen.
Almost all trees produce flowers -- some are very showy. Trees that depend on the wind for pollination have non-showy flowers. Often their flowers are muted shades of green or yellowish green.
Trees can be classified as gymnosperms or angiosperms. Gymnosperms produce their seeds on the surface or tips of an appendage such as a pine cone. Angiosperms produce their seeds inside a fruit such as an acorn.
Most trees are grown from seeds -- this leads to variability in the age at which they flower, the amount of flowers produced and the intensity of fall color. Ideally, trees you plant would be grown from seeds collected in a similar climate. Seeds collected in areas with significantly different temperatures will have a different cold and heat tolerance.
Most tree seeds require two growing seasons to germinate. Some tree species require a period of cold weather and others will not germinate for several years.
Topping trees is a costly, money-wasting mistreatment of trees.
Tree wound paints and dressings do not help the tree --- some actually speed decay.
There is no conclusive evidence that tree wraps help prevent heat or cold injury.
Inserting screws, nails or injecting fertilizer into a tree trunk can cause decay and death.
A newly transplanted small tree will often outgrow a larger newly transplanted tree.
Filling a tree cavity is not a very useful practice. If done incorrectly it can lead to further decay.
Non-staked transplanted trees are usually stronger than trees that have been staked.
When pruning, do not leave stubs or cut flush with the trunk. Both can prevent the tree from healing naturally and can increase decay.
Callus and wound wood forms around tree cuts. Neither indicates the tree's ability to protect itself against decay. The decay must be compartmentalized off inside the tree.
The best time to fertilize a tree is late fall. The next best time is very early spring.
Newly transplanted trees should not be fertilized for a year.
Winter hardiness decreases for several weeks after pruning ---- do not prune in late fall or during severe cold weather.
The best time to transplant most trees is in the fall. There are some exceptions.
An unleaded-fuel-powered car emits 115 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer. An average trip of 25 kilometers a day (except during number-coding days) translates to 890 kilograms of carbon dioxide emitted to the atmosphere or 242 kilograms of carbon per year. One ton of carbon is equivalent to 3.667 tons of carbon dioxide.
Meanwhile, one hectare of forested area can absorb 15.873 tons of carbon a year. With the ideal forest density at 400 trees per hectare, the number of trees a motorist needs to plant and grow fully to offset his/her car’s annual carbon dioxide emission is six--every year.
0.242 ton of carbon ÷ 15.873 tons per hectare of forest = 0.0152 hectare x 400 trees per hectare = 6.09 trees
Below table shows the number of trees needed to offset a year's carbon emission footprint.
