The earth was covered with greenery. People were coming and going for their work as usual. One day a famous science organization released a report. In which it was written – The number of trees is decreasing every year. Due to which problems of ozone layer damage, air pollution and global warming are arising. Therefore, you are requested to plant as many trees as possible and save human life. After reading this report, many people considered it a lie and forgot it, while some people believed it to be true and got a little scared. A few days later a person was using his social media platform. He read that report. He thought of doing something for the betterment of human life. He planted one tree every day. He would water it and his heart would blossom with joy after seeing that plant. He used to go from place to place once a year and try to make people aware about promoting the environment, reducing air pollution, noise pollution and water pollution and reducing the use of polythene bags. One night a thought came to the man's mind that why not free the animals kept in cages in zoos. So that they can also live their life well. A few weeks later. In the night. The man escaped from the zoo staff with a torch in his hand. Went inside the zoo. Zoo employees were sleeping outside. After some time, hearing the sound of pitter-patter, the staff wake up and go inside the zoo. The man opened the cages of many herbivorous animals. Those creatures broke free and ran away from there. Here those employees see that person doing this. Those employees angrily put that person in the lion's cage and went away from there. But in the morning the staff saw that the lion was still sleeping and the man was trying to climb the wall. After trying so hard, the person climbs the wall and runs away from there. After a few months. Those employees are suspended because of their bad behavior and sleeping at work. Over the years, trees started being cut in large numbers. New industries, houses etc. started being built. That person went from city to city to make people aware. He would also write a letter to the government and give information about deforestation. But no government has either saved forests from being cut or paid attention to increasing the number of trees. Animals started being killed and eaten. Evil started increasing slowly. Year after year the number of trees was decreasing and with it the heat was increasing. One day such a time came. When all the forests on earth were cleared, even fewer animals were left. It seemed as if the ozone layer had disappeared. Everywhere, human life was becoming miserable due to ultraviolet rays, air pollution and water pollution. Only a few trees and plants were left. Just like humans had destroyed the greenery on earth for their own selfish reasons. Due to the rapid melting of the ice accumulated on the earth, the oceans were engulfing the places inside them. People, humans and animals were suffering due to disease and extreme heat. Only a few humans and animals were left. The rest of the humans had fallen victim to suffocation, disease, extreme heat and natural disasters. The earth was becoming hotter. The last remaining human said in his mind - We humans have destroyed the human race ourselves. He died. Now there were neither humans nor any animals left on earth. Only microorganisms were left. The earth had become extremely hot. Due to which the stock of plastic present on the earth started burning slowly. Within a few years, all the plastic burned to ashes and the earth was filled with smoke. After about millions of years the earth cooled down. Ice started freezing. Gradually trees and plants started coming into existence. New life began and man became an extinct creature.
