It occurs due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere which later affect the environment, one of the most successful ways to mitigate these effects is the planting of trees.
Trees are known as the consumers of Carbon dioxide produced by humans and suppliers of Oxygen needed by man. they are known as Carbon sink, as they consume and store the carbons for proper utilization. Research has shown that Trees play important role in combating the effect of climate change.
Even with the roles these trees played, it has been cut down every day which resulted to Deforestation. Therefore, we need to encourage afforestation in order to cover up the deforested area.
