I am becoming more aware of life.
I see the beauty of every single day, the beauty of the sunshine ,the beauty of Mother Nature . I walk in the park and I look at the trees . I empty my mind, I just enjoy the present moment.
I feel the wind blowing in the grass and the leaves.

But there is something which is worrying me: that this kind of moments will not exist for long time.I was reading the other days something about deforestation, and I find out it is estimated that within 100 years there will be no rain-forests. This is because the man is still cutting the forest; they use the land for new construction or they use just the wood for building furniture and people do nothing to stop this situation.
We must be more conscious about the importance of the trees.
- Forests pump out the oxygen we need to live and absorb the carbon dioxide we exhale (or emit). Just one adult leafy tree can produce as much oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year.
- Nearly half of all known species live in forests, including 80 percent of biodiversity on land.
- Trees also have another way to beat the heat: absorb CO2 that fuels global warming.
- On top of flood control, soaking up surface runoff also protects ecosystems downstream.
- They block wind. A forest's root network stabilizes huge amounts of soil, bracing the entire ecosystem's foundation against erosion by wind or water.
- They clean up dirty air.Trees catch and soak in a wide range of airborne pollutants, including carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide.
We should think more about the future generations that will not benefit as same as us from the forest which can be extinct at that time.
Then for breathing we will need to produce artificial oxygen in the laboratory and we will need pay for it. How you can think to pay for breath pure air? So, the life itself will have a price?
Just think, please!
How can we get out of this situation? Why must we be so unconscious, negligent and indifferent?!Whose fault is this? Can we do something against it?I think we could make something about if we want to, if we care. We could, for example, plant a new tree for each one that has been cut. We could make a project, organise,get people togeder and start planting few trees .
Would that be possible?
How can we just enjoy the beauty of the houses made up with piece of wood,cuted trees, the beautiful furniture or other cration and forget how long it takes for a tree to grow up.
Please, people, wake up! Be more conscious ! Think about the future generations! Be fair and for everything you receive from Mother Nature, give back something, plant a new life seed, a new tree which will give us air.
