Some people think that it is more important to plant trees in open areas of towns and cities than to build more housing. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
ESSAY NUMBER 179 FROM OUR BOOK
It is believed that it is more meaningful to plant trees in open urban areas, rather than building more houses. While housing is needed to meet the demands of the growing population, I strongly agree that trees should be planted in open areas as trees provide environmental, social, and economic benefits.
Admittedly, housing is needed to meet the demands of the burgeoning population, but high-rise buildings should be made instead of spreading out low-rise houses and leave the open spaces for planting more and more trees. New housing can also be made in the countryside to convert villages into towns. In fact, many people are opting to live there because of the fresh air and quiet atmosphere.
The main benefit of planting trees in cities is to the environment. Trees help purify the polluted air in the cities and towns. Research has proven that 100 trees can remove tonnes of carbon dioxide annually. Trees are also known to cut down the everyday noise of cities, thus tackling noise pollution. To add to it, rainwater doesn’t run off into drains if there are trees in urban areas. It is filtered into the ground, thus saving the city money that is spent on drains and artificial controls. Finally, trees provide shade to homes, roads, office areas, and parking spaces, thus reducing energy consumption. In parking lots also, trees help keep cars cooler, which leads to less pollution.
Planting trees in cities helps the city grow socially and economically as well. They provide an area where people can meet, socialize, and also exercise. Children also get a close to nature place, where they can play. The commercial value of an urban property with trees is more than one without trees. Retail outlets and businesses located in areas with trees attract more customers.
To sum up, although houses are needed in cities to live in, trees are needed more to strengthen and improve the quality of the life in overcrowded cities. They play a vital role in combating climate change and provide numerous economic and social benefits.
