World Natural Days
Dr. Moirangthem Jiban Singh *
If you love your country, at least plant a tree in the name of the country and keep it alive
“Water is life, Air is life, Life is from water and Air, protect them, this is my duty, my daily Resolution.”
In Western culture, when children grow up, they leave their parents and create their own world. Elderly parents are negligently neglected at their home or old age home or on the street. Parents created in the image of God were treated like animals by their own children because of selfishness. Sometimes they celebrate Mother's Day and Father’s Day when they remembers their parents.
Similarly we humans have destroyed all those parts of nature and environment which provided us everything. We celebrate different "nature days" to show our sympathy and to play with the environment. Without work, there would be no point in celebrating "Nature Day".
If you love your country, at least plant a tree in the name of the country and keep it alive. I have also planted thousands of saplings to save the world from being degraded. You can save the world only by planting trees. The decision is yours.
