There has been a rapid rise in atmospheric temperature, the water level has gone down, the air pollution has increased, and the glaciers are melting because of the release of carbon dioxide in heavy quantities all over the globe both due to industrialization and the increase of vehicles on the roadside besides due to the burning of coal in factories and thermal plants.
The natural balance of biodiversity has been lost in the ocean, air, and water and many species of birds and animals have gone extinct. The only way to save this planet is to increase the forest area on Earth which is dwindling fast by greedy human activity who is quite unmindful of the impending extinction of its race from the planet. So it is the duty of all of us to save this planet by planting at least one tree every year said, Dr. Bansal.
