Greening Of Malaysia

Trees within the compound of the house helps to cool the building.


Why is the greening of Malaysia so important? Because it is one way to keep the country cool. It has been discovered that a tree of substantial size is equivalent to twenty five airconditioners. Just imagine, how it would feel if you have a few trees around your house? Just nice! No more sweat and no more migraine. Malaysians must cultivate this habit of planting trees.

Not only within the compounds of the house or empty lands but also in areas where trees have been removed for commercial purposes. Companies responsible for such removal must also take the initiatives to replant them. The warming up effect that is being experienced in all parts of the country is due to this factor.

Western countries have come to realise the importance of keeping their tree stock to the maximum. And trees are being cut mnimally. To ensure that the climate of their countries remain the same. To make this possible they have programmes to replace trees that have been felled. The companies involved in tree felling are keen to participate in such activitities because this is one method they can give back something beneficial to society.

At the same time, they also educate school children about the benefits of this greening culture. This is done through talks, seminars, field trips etc. Malaysian and foreign companies can also do the same here. Thus it will not only bring many good things to Malaysians such as a healthy and cool environment which is conducive to development but which also help maintain the balance of nature.
