Paved Paradise

They paved paradise and put up a parkin' lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parkin' lot

They took all the trees, and put em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them
No, no, no, don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise, and put up a parkin' lot

Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT
I don't care about spots on my apples,
Leave me the birds and the bees - please
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey now, they've paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Why not?

Listen, late last night, I heard the screen door swing,
And a big yellow taxi took my girl away
Now don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey now now, don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Why not, they paved paradise
They put up a parking lot
Hey hey hey, paved paradise and put up a parking lot

I don't wanna give it
Why you wanna give it
Why you wanna givin it all away
Hey, hey, hey
Now you wanna give it
I should wanna give it
Cuz you're givin it all away, no no

I don't wanna give it
Why you wanna give it
Why you wanna givin it all away

Cuz you're givin it all givin it all away yeah yeah
Cuz You're givin it all away hey, hey, hey

Hey, paved paradise, to put up a parking lot
la,la, la, la, la, la, la ,la ,la ,la ,la
Paved paradise, and put up a parking lot

Save the trees, save the world.

When trees die.

The picture displayed above represents the ever famous Amazon rain forest. Well, part of it.

Its really shocking to me though that people can be really ignorant of what they're doing to the environment. By cutting down trees, we're creating global problems.

One of them is climatic changes. The forest acts as a carbon sink. Photosynthetic trees absorb carbon dioxide and emits oxygen as a byproduct. This process is one that is efficient in sustaining the temperature of an ecosystem. The concentration and amount of these gases are regulated in moderation.

However, this mechanism is no longer efficient in controlling the temperature of the ecosystem as there are less trees doing it. More carbon dioxide is stuck hanging in the air and less oxygen is produce.

And I'm sure you do know that carbon dioxide is one of the major greenhouse gases, right?? Greenhouse gases are not bad. They function to absorb the warmth from the sun and this helps maintain the constant temperature of the earth. Well now, since there are too much of these gas molecules in the air, more warmth and heat is being absorbed. In fact, it is too much that the earth we are living in now is facing a major rise in global temperature! Hence, the term global warming.

So, what can we do to resolve this? Can the earth be saved from turning into a globe of heat that would eventually wipe humankind?

You think about it.
