And forests ki itani chinta hai.. then let’s do it properly - construct the Great Wall of China around the forest areas! But atleast we/government should happily allow people to grow and use trees freely on their private land without restrictions and fear of law.
The law of demand & supply tells a different story! Penalties & mindset also play different role here. We should use wood maximum and increase demand through 'maximum-use' policy instead of 'no-use' type negative policy. You will see the difference in just five years.
@desisigma First penalize tree cutting itself. Old trees are a treasure and a forest ecosystem unto themselves. Reduce vehicles on the street and create mini city forests. There are many things that can be done but there has to be a will.
Because of these strict rules and policies, many people who were planning to develop or sell their land simply keep it empty for years instead of planting anything. They’re worried about the rules & penalties.
Major cheat code for life: Learn to delay your reaction. Anger, fear, and impulse will try to make you move fast. There's power in pausing. In the pause, you see clearly, you respond wisely, and you avoid decisions you’ll regret. Slow down to speed up.
