The trees & oxygen

The cost of Oxygen. A very interesting perspective!

In one day a human being breathes oxygen equivalent to three cylinders.
Each oxygen cylinder on an average costs Rs 700, without subsidy.
So in a day one uses Oxygen worth Rs 2100 and for a full year it is Rs
7,66,500.  If we consider an average life span of 65 years; the costs of oxygen we use
become a staggering sum of Rs 500,00,000. Rs 50 million. Thats a million USD!!!!

All this oxygen is derived free of cost from the surrounding trees.

Imagine having to pay for the air we breathe!!!!

Very few people look at trees as a resource and there is rampart tree
cutting going on everywhere which should stop.

Please care for trees.  In olden times there was a saying if you cut a tree your family will be cursed unless you plant 7 new trees. A very simple way to preserve the enviorenment.

In the Gita there is a mention that nature is doing its duty endlessly of providing is sunshine, oxygen , water and som much more. Without expecting anything in return.

The least we can do is respect nature and and learn selflessness from it.
