Climate change: Time to go beyond planting trees
Afforestation is the buzzword these days. And reasonably too. Destruction of forests has been found to be one of the major reasons for increasing Greenhouse Gases(GHG) in the atmosphere. Plants take in carbon dioxide and give out the oxygen that enables us to sustain. They bring rains, fight drought, and increase biodiversity. Besides all of that, forests act as a large sink of carbon in the Earth which is released when we burn them. Deforestation thus upsets the carbon cycle that normally tries to maintain a balance in carbon content in the atmosphere.
