Our identity, our culture and our lifestyle is associated with the forest resources. If there were no plants or trees, the temperature would have increased uncontrollably, causing imbalance in the eco system, adversely impacting our lives. If the trees would have given wifi, people would have planted trees like never before, but they only provide oxygen. Oxygen is important for our lives.
