Cutting trees

READING the news in the Dawn Internet edition about 10,000 trees being cut down by some government agency was extremely frustrating and mind-boggling. While the whole world is focusing on global warming and the effect of carbon on the atmosphere and climate change, we in Pakistan are doing totally the opposite.

Greed and love for money supersedes common sense and love for our own environment.

It seems there are no checks and balances and nobody is accountable.

Here in Los Angeles in order to cut a tree, if it is an extremely old or diseased tree, we need a report from an arbourist and then we have to plant a tree to replace it.Please keep the environment green as we need to save our planet and let common sense and love for our environment prevail.
