I am a young tree in Aarey and I am your friend.My mom says she has been here forever and I came into the world because a fruit fell from her branch and this lovely kid came and embedded me in the soil. Every few days he came and watched me grow.Sometimes,he watered me,sometimes he just watched.When I actually opened my eyes and spread my arms, he jumped with joy.Now I am thirty years old and strong.I still wait and yearn for my friend but he hasn’t visited me in a long time.I have heard he has a high flying corporate job and is very busy.I have never forgotten that deed of kindness and ever since I was born I have always helped him and his kind.
I HAVE GIVEN THEM FRUITS TO EAT
I HAVE GIVEN THEM SHELTER
I HAVE BEEN SILENTLY PURIFYING THEIR ENVIRONMENT
I WITH MY FRIENDS HAVE MADE THEIR LAND LOOK BEAUTIFUL!!
But now I do not know why his friends have decided to cut me and my friends down.I was very sad till I saw my friend returning ,this time though not alone but with his small little counterparts and this is what they got with them;

A WORLD WITHOUT TREES FROM THE EYES OF RIYA MEHTA,11 YEARS OLD.SHE CAN SEE HERSELF YEARNING FOR A PURE BREATH . |
TRISHA MEHTA WHO IS 9 YEARS,CAN VISUALISE THE MOTHER EARTH CRYING WHEN THE TREES ARE BEING CUT AND THE ADVERSE EFFECTS LIKE POLLUTION INCREASING DUE TO THIS. |
We are the lungs of Mumbai.We reside in Aarey which has given to you and our young ones nature trails, yogathons, nature drawing competitions, photothons, cycling and trekking adventures, the wildlife safari and many more such memorable moments !
If my young friends have understood the importance of us being around ,why don’t you?
I ,A YOUNG TREE in AAREY urge you to save this green treasure before its lost forever……Save Me and save your environment !!
You too can join the cause !

Right now there is only a stay order issued.It will be tragic if the trees are actually cut .No matter how many they plant back,the beauty of Aarey lies in the fact that it is untouched,yet.
