Planting trees is very important for the environment. Some people say trees should be planted in the vacant areas of cities and towns, while other says housing facilities should be built instead. Discuss both sides and give your opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

The group of

people

that suggest planting

trees

inside cities are probably considering the effect that natural vegetation can have on

people

's mood and mental health. The opposing group possibly think about the effect

this

action has on housing prices, and how the cost of living should be decreased for everybody. I agree with the first group for two reasons,

firstly

because including

trees

and green areas in our cities could have an incredible effect on

people

's lives and their daily moods. What I've witnessed in my own experience is that whenever I take the time to get out of the city and connect with

nature

, I am instantly reminded of how much our environment has changed drastically from wondering all day in open areas surrounded by

nature

, into spending all day inside buildings and seeing concrete all day. I think that increasing

trees

and parks inside the city could help

people

connect with

nature

more often and more easily, and

consequently

increase their happiness. My second reason for wanting more

trees

is to preserve

nature

. We have already changed much of our surrounding habitat by industrialization, and fast population growth. The number of

trees

and the total amount of area covered by jungles has already been decreasing constantly since the beginning of the industrial era, and

this

can cause gradual but very important changes to our planet.

For example

, by increasing the total amount of

trees

on Earth, we can start to tackle problems like pollution or global warming.

Therefore

I think that we humans as a species should care more about reviving the Earth to its more natural days. In conclusion, I think that planting

trees

and including

nature

in our daily lives should be done as much as possible. I am aware of what financial concerns governments could have when deciding whether or not to build new housing facilities;

however

, they should endeavour to increase

nature

's role in

people

's lives as much as possible.
