LETTER TO THE EDITOR: This is sad!

AS we grapple with the effects of climate change, there is a call for better nurturing of our environment.

Some are making frantic efforts to reverse the disastrous scenario by planting more trees and using eco-friendly products such as bio degradable plastics but others have no care at all.

This is Makishi Road in Lusaka which once had a beautiful scenery of trees that provided not only fresh air but also shade to pedestrians as well as helped with balance of nature.

Trees cut down to pave way for road expansion in Lusaka

Today the trees are a sorry sight and leave very little to no impression.

We want good roads for free flow of traffic into/out of town but we NEED these trees for our environment to support us another day.

Trees during photosynthesis take in carbon dioxide which is generally a hot gas and gives out oxygen and this helps cool down temperature in areas with trees.
