| Tree of Life They are one of the cheapest and most effective ways to improve
the environment and the quality of life in an area. Even in the over- concreted land and
water shortage of a megapolis like Delhi, plants and trees play a huge role in regulating
air quality and temperature. We have not yet started to speak of the rest of the benefits
of green cover: fruits, birds, butterflies, the beauty and tranquility they bring. So why
don't we start planting trees?

| Washing
our hands in dirty waters |
| Water pollution has become a serious
problem in many countries. Industrial waste in water can easily be seen, but there are
many other less obvious sources of pollution. The three main sources of pollution are: 1.Industrial waste
2.Sewage from cities, towns etc.
3.Agricultural chemicals
It is very easy to pollute but have you ever tried to purify what you have polluted? Here
are some dangers which pollution cause:
1. Water contaminated by human and animal waste can spread cholera, fever, dysentery,
fever and other diseases.
2. The careless release of toxins and waste dumps in water seriously threatens ground
water supplies.
Scientists are concerned that even a small quantity
of these toxins in our drinking water will have harmful effects over many years.

| BPCL HOUSING COMPLEX,
NOIDA |
| The BPCL complex is located in sector 56 of NOIDA. It houses six
buildings. Around 500 residents live in the complex. The green grassy lawns are very well maintained. The complex also
has areas for football, basketball, table tennis and badminton. Both young and old come to
the large and well-equipped gym to exercise.
Rainwater harvesting structures are being built and
the complex already has a vermicomposting system for managing our waste.
I love this housing complex and enjoy living in it.
