Himanshi Dhawan's Open Letter To Earthling

Hey Earthling, 
How are you? Hope you are doing great. 
I want to ask you a very important question. Ever wondered what would happen if there were no trees at all? 
We as responsible children must remember that it is in our hands to protect and preserve our planet. As we think of protecting our planet, the simplest step to start off with is by planting a sapling. However, our duty does not end there. We must nurture that little seed, protect it for all the years to come and see it grow into a big tree. As we look around and marvel at the variety of wonderful trees – magnificent old, tall oaks to small ones, exquisite flowering plants; we must remember that trees have functions well beyond embellishing the surroundings. 
Trees provide food and a home sweet home for fauna. They provide cool resting places from the scorching heat for birds and wildlife as well as for us. Backyard trees are a joy to climb and play with. But there is more to say. How can we forget that they are our principal supplier of oxygen? Tree roots prevent soil erosion and bring up soil nutrients. The leaves and needles provide much to enrich the soil around the trees. Trees also act as noise barriers, carbon sinks, windbreaks and can also prevent houses during bad weather conditions. They soak up excess water during the rainy season and help solve drainage problems. All in all, trees are important to us as individuals and as a planet on whole. Thus, it is prime duty to protect them because without trees, this planet will be just a big dry planet with no life. So, remember that the threat is not only to the world, but to your house, to your family/ peers, to your relatives and last but not the least to you. At last, remember: - “Harmony with nature is the demand of today’s world. Preservation of Mother Nature is of paramount importance” 
Yours,
Himanshi Dhawan

Such a great article Himanshi! Nowadays trees are cut down for our own uses and don''t even think about the nature. As you have mentioned in the article "Home sweet home for fauna" is such a great thing that we have to think upon. People don''t care about the nature and go on destroying it even tough they know its going to affect them. Students can use notebooks made from recycled pulp and Bagasse. We have to use stuff which are at least 75% Eco-friendly.

nice one himanshi....thats really true...we call our earth mother..and we never respect her like a mother! thats a dreadful and a dissapointing truth!

Yaksh Bari Shree Swaminarayan Vidyaveli Gyankendra Senior Sec

It is a very good question. Today a lots of trees are being cut down and no new trees are planted instead of them. It us a very big problem in our country.

Yaksh Bari Shree Swaminarayan Vidyaveli Gyankendra Senior Sec

Every place is full of pollution and if enough number of trees were there in our country this problem would not exceed this much. Soil erosion process is going faster than before just because trees are being cut off. Trees hold the soil firmly to the ground. A level of oxygen is becoming less and carbon dioxide''s level is going up everyday.

A brainchild of The Times of India, the world’s leading English newspapers, Times NIE nurtures progress and innovation. Adapted from the international concept, Times Newspaper in Education program (Times NIE) was initiated in India in 1985.

Today we have over 3000 schools and over 9 lac students subscribing to the programme, spanning 16 cities viz. Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Lucknow, Coimbatore, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, and Jaipur.

The Times of India Student edition, a customized student newspaper exclusively for the students, packs a powerful punch in terms of content that leads to a smarter and superior learning experience. The information is crafted such that it finds use in classroom discussions, thus making it relevant and current. It truly gives education a new dimension by fostering the simple habit of reading which in turn paves the way for a confident, informed and aware individual. A newspaper that inspires young minds and equips them to face challenges of today’s world, making way for global citizens.

Empowering students with new cutting-edge knowledge through various educative and informative activities is a commitment and tradition of Times NIE. The programme serves as a catalyst of education and interaction, as well as a window into the minds of the quintessential Indian youth. On a significant scale Times NIE comprises diverse interesting activities and events that boost the child’s passion for learning, while revealing hidden talent.

While you are aware that The Times of India is among the leading English Newspapers across the world, it has consummated its position as an everlasting winner. With several international awards and recognitions to its credit, The Times of India and Times NIE have validated an enduring tradition of setting the highest benchmarks in every respect. We have been awarded with the two most prestigious awards, Times NIE - World’s No.1 NIE program and The Times of India, Student Edition - World’s No.1 Newspaper for the youth in 2006 by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN). In 2008 we were honoured by the International Newspaper Marketing Association (INMA), yet another international recognition for ‘Youth Audience Development’.

Times NIE has grown remarkably over the last three and a half decades, touching millions of children across more than 16 Indian cities. Our absolute commitment towards the fledgling generation remains undiluted and our greatest strength lies in the school partnership and commitment.
