Minister of Coal, Sriprakash Jaiswal, India
Respected Sir,
Please No Go for mining in our remaining forest.
Forest is a large area of land thickly covered with trees and bushes. They play very important role in building the economy of a country. They help to preserve agricultural land from the danger of erosion. Forests are the main source of timber for building and furniture as well as the firewood. Wood pulp is the primary source of raw material for paper industry. They also provide raw material for a number of other industries like sports goods and matches etc. Many kinds of pharmaceuticals, rayon and other useful materials like gums, resin, turpentine oil, are made from the raw material that can be found in forests. The trees also anchor the soil and prevent the winds from blowing the surface soil away. Rivers and streams receive water that flows down from very steep mountain rocks; forests on these slopes restrict the speed which would otherwise produce floods.
Forests keep the environment pleasant because they got moisture from earth through their roots and spread it in the air through their leaves. Decomposed leaves from humus which is the biggest source of soil fertility. They cause rainfall through the process of transpiration.They are the biggest source of oxygen which is essential for animals and plant life on the globe. Increasing green house effect is a growing menace for all sorts of life on the globe. Only forests can fight this danger in a very good manner.Almighty gives us fully developed brain to save our Mother Nature not to destroy. So please don't destroy forest, don't disturb our mother nature for coal. Please don't go for mining.
Thank you so much for giving us your time. God bless you...

5. Paul Egan Framingham, MA Dear Coal Minister, Sriprakash Jaiswal,/ Please save your
country's remaining forests from ALL mine coaling. Communities depend on these forests, as do wildlife like leopards, elephants, and tigers. We are ALL God's creatures. Please look within your own, good heart. Your kindness shall show you that the forests need to be a No Go for mining./ As you know, Sir, once forests are demolished, they can never be restored to their once-unique state. This need not occur, at all, when you already possess clean and renewable energy options./
There is an enormous amount of support for India's forests. I implore you, once again, dear Sir, to PLEASE help these dependent human beings and wildlife. Every single life IS worth saving!!! / God bless you, always. I thank you so very much for taking time to read my paramount message. May you have a blessed day. /Most Respectfully, Mr. Paul Egan. /

The day we no longer have any forests left, that is the Day we will all die!!! Trees and other green plants such as grass convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates during photosynthesis, releasing oxygen in the process, and are thus absolutely VITAL for ALL living creatures - also, the forests are the home of a plethora of wild animals, birds, insects etc!

We must stop to destroy our forests. We don't mine, there are so many clean energy in the world right now. Animals need the forest to live and to feed. If you destroy the forests, you will also destroy animals.
