"content": "Naturally, Madam Temporary Speaker, we are an agricultural society, with agriculture taking up about 80 percent. We have also concentrated on food crops to the detriment of trees in certain areas. There are areas, for example, at the coast, where you find coconut trees and other trees growing, and harvest those trees takes a long time. Therefore, those trees have a double purpose; of just existing as trees, but also for economic output. However, in certain places, there is so much concentration of food crops, such that we have not made any effort, yet it is not difficult. It starts with the education system and encouraging our children, as young as class three, to plant trees. When they go out for Physical Education (PE), they can plant a tree to nurture. This is because it is not just planting a tree, but also nurturing it and ensuring that it gets water. If that type of education starts at an early age, you will then find that this new generation will value trees and they will not think of cutting a tree."
