Best friend
Trees are not only the sworn friends of the environment but also for all creatures in the world. They provide us with oxygen to breathe, flowers to enjoy, fruits and vegetables to eat, firewood and furniture etc. Bees collect honey from the flowers of trees. Trees are the best source of medicines. They protect soil erosion from water flow and reduce environment pollution. They give shadows to the pedestrians in the highway during hot weather and torrential rain. They give the forest animals the cover to move freely in the jungle and birds make their nests as they like best. Coastal areas get the protection from natural disasters, mainly from the tidal surge.
Most parts of the country may go under water due to the Greenhouse Effect. Only trees can save us from any disaster caused by ecological imbalance. So all of us should come forward to make Bangladesh green.
