Wherever its pot is placed, mosquitoes will flee from there, and humans can be protected from diseases such as malaria and dengue. Moreover, plants release oxygen into the air and absorb carbon dioxide, i.e., absorb bad air, playing an important role in cleansing our homes of air pollution.

The shortage of trees in the environment where summers are getting hotter due to one side of the drought, on the other hand, has been the cause of destruction due to heavy rains, floods, and storms.

Experts believe that if people plant more varieties of fruits and vegetables on higher ground in their homes and keep chickens, they will not suffer from food shortages at least. The current government has made various efforts to control the shortage of trees, including the "Plant Ten Billion Trees" campaign.
