Question

Text:
The tree is a beautiful machine that works for the benefit
of man. Most forms of life on Earth need oxigen. We do
not get oxigen from industrial machines. We get it from
the tree machine. The tree machine makes the oxigen that
we need to take from the air.
Industrial machines pollute the air. Trees do not
pollute the air. On the contrary, they clean it. The
industrial machines make a lot of noise. The tree machine
does not make any noise. On the contrary, it filters noise.
The tree machine does not need coal, oil, gas or
electricity to work. Its fuel comes from water, sun light
and carbon dioxide. When a tree dies, it helps new plants.
The combination of water, insects, and micro-organisms
in the soil causes the decomposition of a tree. When a tree
dies, it gives nutrients to the soil for other trees use as
fuel. So, the tree does not die, really. It recycles its
substance for the benefit of all animal and plant life.
Please remember: the tree is your friend. Do not
destroy it.
