We all will die an early death, if we don’t have enough Oxygen to breathe. Trees and other greens on land and from various waterbodies are the only source of Oxygen available to us. There is no other source of Oxygen on our planet earth.

Indian Institute of Science recommends 6 trees per person for a healthy life. Mumbai doesn’t even have half a tree per person. Out of 100 percent of the tree cover, less than 6 percent is left in Mumbai. Rest 94 percent has been destroyed till date due to various development projects.

It is shocking that how ignorant and reckless we all are about this basic need of humans, the oxygen. We don’t even think about it, forget saving it. In fact we are destroying the trees which produce Oxygen for the developments like Metro Rail, Minings and other construction and infrastructure works. Such developments cause destruction of the environment and is causing global warming.

The destruction of the green cover in Mumbai is dangerous to lives of all who live in Mumbai. Our Lungs, Skin, Heart and in fact our entire body will become unhealthy because of the unhealthy air. WHO has stated that because of polluted air more number of people will suffer from cancer. 

It is time we realise that Mumbai cannot afford to lose any more trees or other greens of the waterbodies.  

So please stop all the destructive development in Mumbai which destroys trees, mangroves, ponds, lakes, rivers, hills and oceans.

Let there be more environment friendly developments so citizens of Mumbai can breathe enough oxygen and live a healthy and long life. 

We request all Mumbaikars, all Indian citizens and people from all over the world to support citizens of Mumbai in demanding our right to breathe and live a healthy life.
