Plants are disappearing. Every year over 11.5 million hectares of tropical forest is cut and then burned to clear land for farming and cattle grazing. This kind of change is called deforestation. With fewer trees and other plants to convert carbon dioxide to oxygen, too much carbon dioxide builds up. Deforestation is one cause of global warming. The conservation of plants and forests is now something more people and governments are beginning to discuss very seriously as one way to protect the environment.
WWF Message (Before It's Too Late)
Plants are one of two major Kingdoms of life forms. There are about 300,000 plant species on Earth. Plants are the only life forms that can produce their own food using energy from sunlight. Plants produce almost all of the oxygen in the air that humans and other animals breathe. Plants are also an important source of food, building materials, and other resources that make life possible for Earth’s animals.

Mutiara Kata
"Ilmu yang bermanfaat hanyalah ilmu yang membimbingmu kepada kebaikan. Adapun ilmu yang tidak bermanfaat hanya menyebabkan dirimu tidak takutkan Allah, hari akhirat dan membuatkan dirimu tidak mengharapkan rahmat dari Nya. Maka sesungguhnya, itu adalah ilmu yang sesat lagi merosakkan."
Wise Words
"The trees and plants show respect for each other by the way they live in harmony. This also applies to the human being."
"Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will precieve the divine mystery in things. Once you precieve it, you will begin to comprehend it better everyday. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love."
"Many people I've met believe that plants are made up of soil--that the tree outside your house, for example, is mostly made from the soil in which it grew. That's a common mistake. That tree is mostly made up of one of the gases in our air (carbon dioxide) and water (hydrogen and oxygen). Trees are solidified air and sunlight."
