Green efforts are crucial for ecological balance!

As human being we live in the world along with other creatures. We should respect other creatures that co-exist with us in the earth. To maintain a better and healthy life style we should evaluate our every day lifestyle which means how our action could impact on the quality of our life as well as other creatures. We and the nature are very much inter dependent. If we take care the nature well then we can be taken care of well means we can live eco friendly. Plant is one of the important living organisms which can produce their own food and play important role to maintain the natural balance through carbon cycle, and oxygen cycle and nitrogen cycle which are important elements of the earth, and many lives depend on them for the survival and regular activities. On the other hand animal can not produce their own food but fully depend directly or indirectly on the plant for their food supply.
Cellular process of living organisms require oxygen for normal cell function e.g. metabolism, movement, breathing, thinking. Oxygen is the key element for survival of all living organisms. With out oxygen no life is possible in the earth.


The oxygen that we breathe in that comes from plants through photosynthesis. During photosynthesis plants use solar energy (photon from sun lights) to convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates and oxygen in a process called photosynthesis.

Then the oxygen is used up by human and other living organisms to break down food (carbohydrate) to release energy (respiration), and carbon dioxide which is absorbed by plant to prepare their food. Thus the cycles of photosynthesis and respiration help in maintaining the earth's natural balance of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water.

Every day the foods we take that come from the nature (forest/green tree). The quality of food mostly depends on the quality of environment e.g. air (clean/polluted) quality, soil, sanitation, water quality, plantation process. Our quality of lives could be impacted due to deforestation, wipeout green trees, the over usage of pesticides, chemical fertilizer during plantation process/agriculture , industrial deregulation of green house gas emission and hazardous waste disposition that could lead to global warming due to raises earth’s temperature and destabilize the natural balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide which could have the vast impact to extinct the living organism from the earth and destroy the ecological balance. The global warming also could lead the tornado, flood, cyclone, and drought which drastically could destroy many species from the earth and distort the ecological balance. In the 21st century if we want to live longer and want to maintain a healthy life style then a natural balance among oxygen, carbon dioxide and water are crucial to maintain the ecological balance in the planet. To maintain the ecological balance we must (a) limit over usage of pesticides, stop cutting trees, stop deforestation, regulate emission of green house gases and industrial waste disposal, and to enforce clean water treatment (b) launch green efforts means we should preserve and protect the green trees and forests, and avoid things that contaminated our environment. (c) avoid using of plastic bags encourage consumers to use natural shopping bags (made from golden fiber/bamboo/tree etc) for everyday house hold usage (d) do plantation in your lawn (e) encourage people to use organic nutrient instead of chemical fertilize during agriculture and plantations(f) use less electricity for everyday life (turn off the computer while it is not in use, use small TV instead of bigger TV) keep your home window open for small portion of time (during the day or night for open air circulation) (g) encourage people to use mass transit instead of using car. If mass transit is not available then use hybrid car. (h) Encourage community members/school kids/student to participate in environmental safety/go green training. Encourage and assist them to attend this type of training (i) encourage/help the community to build the park/nursery/pond/lake (j) arrange a plantation expo in the community to promote “Go Green” where community member can participate. Recognize them for their outstanding contribution (k) make a joint effort with the local city government to promote and participating go green initiatives (l) use natural house hold stuff instead of synthetic staff (m) dry your clothes in your lawn under sun instead of using dryer to save energy (n) stop filling up river and canal and construction of unplanned buildings, roads and high ways to prevent flood from rain which could save the trees and forests (o) Maintain the water bed in the river to prevent the natural flood that could save the green trees and forests

Finally to maintain proper oxygen in the environment and constant food supply we must preserve forest, trees and encourage mass peoples towards green plantations.
