00:00It is very well known that one tree over the course of 40 years would absorb just one ton
00:07of carbon dioxide.
00:09How effective is that, please?
00:11And that is if that tree lives to get 40 years old.
00:15One tree over 40 years absorbs one ton of carbon dioxide.
00:19In one year, how much does it absorb?
00:220.025.
00:230.025 ton.
00:24One.
00:26Whereas, having one less child causes a difference of 60 tons per year.
00:33Now, do you want to plant trees happily and then go home and have a child?
00:38One child is 60 tons per year and one tree is 0.025 tons per year.
00:45But by planting a tree, you start feeling that you have done your bit and you feel very
00:49happy.
00:50Now, you can go on a date, get married and then obviously you will have kids.
00:54This is the kind of thing I become very unhappy with.
